Hello, I'm a potential FZ6 rider. I'm currently looking to purchase a 2007 FZ6. The seller(a close acquaintance) graciously let me take it out for some miles. I got on the freeway and everything was great. When I got up to the posted 70 MPH limit, the red oil light came on after about 2 minutes. I pulled off and when I was at slower speeds the light turned off. Got back on freeway and up to 70 same thing. Light came on. I slowed down to off ramp, light went off. I then check oil level and for leaks etc. The only thing that seemed "off" was the oil level was maybe a bit high. But, not outrageous. I was about 50 miles from home at this point, so I took back roads and never went above 65 MPH. The light never came on.
Back story on the seller. He has not been riding due to injury. but, he has started it up faithfully every month but that's really it. He admitted that the oil and filter are two years old. So, I will be starting with that.
Two questions:
1. Has anyone encountered this issue?
2. With the oil slightly high, could fuel be getting into the oil? If so, how is it getting in? I'm used to carbs, is this possible with F.I.
Thank you for the help. I'm really interested in this bike and hope that this is minor.
