Oil light

Completed an oil change this weekend which seemingly went well. Level is fine sitting cold and hot. No leaks. Riding is fine until hitting about 75mph at which point the oil light comes on. Right back off after dropping down to 60 or so. Used Yamalube 10w40. Temps here in the KC area were 60ish. Any ideas??

Agree probably just a tad low.

<Rant>
Hate, hate, hate the freaking window. Total PITA and unless you have a full lift you are crawling on the floor. Even if you don't DIY the oil changes it's still the same PITA to check the level. Yamaha dropped the ball on this one. Many good things on the bike but this isn't one of them.

Mine would do the exact same thing. Everything was fine at lower speeds and then when I hit 65 - 70, or accelerated hard it would come on briefly. I was well above the line and it still did it. I just put up over the top of the window.

I keep it up that high now. My air filter will get a little blowback residue, but I just clean it out more often.

Dealer told me they see it all the time
