    Rode my '06 T100 today for a short 20mile spin, when I arrived I noticed that on idle, my oil light flickering on, rev it a bit and out it goes... Plus I could feel the bike was vibrating a bit.

    The weather is crazy hot today and I'm guessing the oil has thinned out (as there's plenty of oil in the bike)

    So, what's the thickest oil I can use in the bike ??

    I don't ride in the winter (I know, fair weather biker)

    Cheers in advance, Dave.

    Hmm think i've solved it, I washed the bike and Ithink water has got inside the boot on the switch... I've blasted it with some air, so I hope it's sorted...
    I'll find out tomorrow on the way to work....
