Your low on oil take it back to whoever changed it. Don't be polite about it either.

Check your oil level before taking it back. If its so low you cant see it, call where you had it changed before riding it any more and adding insult to injury.

the light came on before the oil was changed, and the oil level is fine no fuses are blown

so is your oil level good?

thats why you should do this stuff yourself,

the idiot may have filledl the oil to the line then didnt ealize that when you crank the bike the filter filling up brings the oil level back down

before you take it to anyone test the sender
the wires might have melted and are grounding out on the body

Solid advice. OPSU is probably either grounding out, or, has come loose. common problem for OPSUs.

I was looking at the service manual and apparently if the oil light stays on it is also MIL (MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP)
i think you may need to take to your dealer and have it reset.

it's on page 6-8, full codes on 6-12 if anyone is interested
