Default lubrication light!

Hello... CBR crew... I have a problem with my 600RR 2003. I park my bike on Thursday because the holy week it rains for two days the bike get wet and yesterday Sunday I went to get it for a ride. When I start it the lubrication light stay on... so shut it down and turn on and off a couple of time them I start it again and the light start to blink... I took it out for a slow ride to see what happen and them the light stay on so I take it to the house and park it. What you guys think it could be?

Note: This light is also for temperature.
The oil that I used is Motul 5100 four stroke engine.

Silly question, but you did check the oil level?

My light comes on some times when I have my bike on the kickstand and it is tiped to the side. When bike is put upright it goes off.

I had same problem with my old bike I ran some cleaner in the oil from and auto parts place it was like some kind of laquer thinner, not realy but that is what it reminded me of, it thinned out the oil and melted away the junk in the engine you don't drive it you just pur it in and let it run for a short time to get it circulated, then drain and put in new filter and oil, the sensor must have been gooed up and that cleaned it not sure this will help but a clean engine cant hurt.

For the records I found the service manual so I start reading and find out that is a fault signal that the MIL (MALFUNCTION LIGHT INDICATOR) is giving me... so I have to count how many times the light blinck and check it the number in the manual and see what is the fault. Tomorrow I will let you know.
