HAHAHAH!... yes, that means it is low on oil. Pour some in, let it run for a minute then turn it off. Let it sit then check the oil. Should usually be in the middle of the sight glass (for my bike) and if you need more then add, run, turn it off then recheck.

150 miles? Add the oil then call the dealer and demand $$ back due to their crappy prep

I can see where they are coming from dude. First post and asking about the oil light coming on. Nobody knows what mad mechanic and trouble shooting skills you bring to the table. No disrespect was intended.

So ... is the oil low?
