so yea, ive been away from kb for ages cause i try not to think about what im missing out on so much, for me the gn is just something i sit on, and the zxr, well thats a different story
do you remember that time u knew you had to top up the oil but decided nah she'll be sweet for a quick ride out to picton to see a girl off at the ferry only to have your mind completely forget that bikes demand more attention than girls?
and forget about your previously discovered low oil?
yea...
guess what happens(ed) :)
BOHOOOHOO

Sorry to hear it, hope it isn't too expensive and gets fixed quickly.
And on the bright side, at least it is now and not on some horribly expensive last-of-its-kind bike in your later years.

Kyle, you seize the engine or blow a hole in it? I can help you out with a couple of guys who know what they are doing in your neck of the woods. BTW, you are an idiot, what does a female offer that your motorcycle cant?

the R6 has a flashing red light and comes up with an oil can on the dash, but in the manual it says that if the temperature isnt flashing with "HI" then i should keep on riding :wacko:

the oil light most often means the oil pressure isn't there.
If you keep riding it, it could be that you don't have any oil, or a substantial leak (which means you're about to loose your oil), and it won't get to the top of the engine, which will do a fair bit of buggerin.. stoopid yama

The BIG exception of course is if you are riding Kickahas bike... then all it means is that it is loosing slightly more oil than usual and perhaps you should ring the forementioned person...to which he will reply.."na...its all cool, its always doing that!"
ok so his is an oil pressure light as opposed to an oil level light, but still scares the fk outa ya! My virago used to bring up the oil level light as i headed up over Dyers pass road, sharp angle and that was nothing to worry about too.... so I'm buggered if i know which light i should be worried about?
From one who has had a bike seize thru lack of oil, I can TOTALLY symphathise mate :hug: but you live and learn, dont ignore that damn light
