Default blinking oil symbol.. ?

* this is prolly a noob question...

When i turn the key on my 01 600 f4i (just the electricals are on) the oil symbol pops up and starts flashing.

Don't know about your bike specifically - but its an oil pressure light in cars and my f3. It'll flash to show you its working and needs to go off when its running. Without it running I wouldn't know if its a problem or not.

Don't have digital gauges. But on my F3 with the ignition on, the oil light remains on until I start the bike. Then it goes off.

Wait till she's up and running to see

It's an oil pressure light..... engine off = no oil pressure, hence the light (and that means it's working properly). Once you start it up it'll go out
