Re: [ST] oil light flickering

[Matt Knowles <matt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've had that happen a couple of times, always when I ran the bike 
for a lengthy time in fairly warm weather at a brisk pace, down hill. 
I've had it happen most often stopping in Dinsmore on 36 after coming 
down the grade. I just make sure I get the bike shut down quickly and 
don't let it idle.

I assume it's the oil thinning out from the heat, and possibly with 
the bike running downhill for a time the oil ends up somewhere other 
than the sump?
