Started the new xb12ss up the other day in about 38 degree temp. Ran for a few minutes when the oil light came on. Could make it go out by reving engine rpms . It has the original 20w50 in it with 120 miles on the bike . I see the owners manual says that the oil light can come on during idle but not at higher rpms....is this normal then ? I also discovered that the dealership had over filled the oil tank to the top. I drained 3 qts out of the swingarm and replaced with proper amount...wtf
