1987 K75S that had been sitting for 20+ years, but put away well..
Currently 109,000 miles with a major rebuild/parts upgrade at 103K in the late 1990s.
for the past couple hundred miles I have been seeing the oil light flicker on when hot and pulling away 1st gear from a traffic light after sitting for a bit. no oil light at any other time.
I got the bike running over the winter including an oil change using 20W50 regular oil,
and currently have about 1500 miles on it since.
Oil level is fine.. just above the center dot and still looks clean.
Any ideas on what to look at?
