so far loving the dino but have a few questions. yesterday(kinda warm day but by no means hot) after a 15 mile ride i stopped for about 5 minutes. when i started it back up the oil light was flashing. i drove a short way, it didn't go out so i stopped & shut it down. checked the owners manual. oil level was ok, no leaks etc. started it back up after 10 minutes light went out. fluke?? or does it have a right side oil pickup thats slow to react when its warm(leaned over etc.) also has anybody found a good/novel/unique place for bungee hooks/studs that won't mar the bodywork? and last has anybody mounted mid mount footpegs?? any input appreciated
Did you start it on the sidestand? I was in the habit of starting the engine leaning on the sidestand to warm the engine while I geared up and lit the "OIL" warning (not the low oil/low oil pressure lamp.)
There is a somewhat cryptic thing in the owners manual on page 19 stating that if the engine goes a long time without being able to read the oil level the digital clock goes to "OIL". Page 28 tells how to reset it. Page 31 says it again and says not to turn the ignition on while resting on the sidestand.
How very Honda to make me stand up the bike to start it. How very Honda to tell me 3 times. How very American for me to ignore it.
Now, where can I mount my Big Gulp cup holder...
