Was it a tuned motor or just one of them things?

Shouldn't be a problem with that. Bit of a bugger of a crank design

Oh dear.
Having seen Big Apes "Always wear you furkin leathers" thread as a long term sticky on here,maybe we should have a "Always check yer furkin oil"one up as well????
How many times have we seen this type of thread?

Crank is cross drilled to feed oil to starter gear bushing. It fails here.

Just to re-iterate the point others have made...

The red light will come on for a number of problems (Fuel Injection - there's a myriad of problems there that could cause the red light, oil pressure, and water temperature are only 3 categories of issue).

The LCD panel is used to clarify what the issue is.

For example, I've had the red light come on for me too, at the same time as the bike said "FI". There's even variations in that, where it's either solidly saying "FI" or it's flashing. One means it's safe to ride, but fix ASAP, the other means "turn the engine on & kiss goodbye to it."

Ah that'll explain it then, more chance there being a weak spot.

There's a pic from TWF of about 20 FUBAR cranks, all either snapped here or scored front big end bearings!
