No no leakage anywhere, so guessing I need to go to a dealer to get some Yamalube then.

It shouldnt use oil like that in 500 miles after a service , there is either a leak or a problem or the dealer didnt put enough oil in .

Well hopefully it's just a case where it wasn't filled correctly on the service. Theres no smoke so not burning oil and I'm 99% sure theres no leakage.

id be asking them if they put any back in the bike! oil light should only come on when theres no pressure, ie out of oil......or are we putting burning oil on the defects list now?

Personally, I'd be on the phone to the dealer telling them to pick the bike up & sort it out.
^^^^^wot he said^^^^^ I just happened to glance at the clocks and the oil light was on, few seconds later i glance down again...light off. Straight into dealers who hooked the bike up, nothing showed up.He couldnt explain why the light came on, but assured me the bike was fine, and the light only comes on when oil pressure is low, not if the oil level is low. Possible sticky oil pressure switch??
Hmm ok well I'll double check the level again today anyway and while I'm at it I'll fire it up a few times and see what the light is actually doing then call the dealers.
EDIT/ The manual states the light is for oil level not oil pressure.

as long as the level is within what the manual says... it is ok... the manual actually says that the light may come on from time to time when there is enough oil due to uneven ground the bike is on... that is all... but if it stays on all the time then you will probably have to check it back to your dealer.
mine comes on when standing uphill but then goes off after i ride on a level ground... the oil level on the bike is about half between the low and full marks when engine is off after a few minutes of warming it up.

Yeah I read that but it was on level ground and the light stayed on.

oh well light for level is better than pressure light. id be filling me pants if an oil pressure light came on. maybe the level sensor is a bit sensitive.
Just checked the window and its well below the minimum mark when the bike is up level, not overly happy about that so soon after a service so will call the dealer tomorrow morning.
