Hopped on my sled, after the wife drove it home today, and noticed the oil light flicker, then come on when I started the sled up. I was down pretty low, so I filled it up with about 3 liters worth. The light is still on. Anything to worry about, or is it just the sensor, and it'll go out on it's own?
 
I wont go as far as to say nothing to worry about but I can tell you oil light has nothing to do with amount of oil getting to engine. As far as I know it was designed to let you know low oillevel in tank. My 2000 srx did it once this year. While idleing a little on the low rpm side, that was 400 miles ago and hasnt done it again and no problems as of yet
 
Well if it is still on, and your oil resevoir is filled(or at least not empty) you should have nothing to worry about. Probably just the sensor that is messed up. Sometimes it may take a few minutes of riding for it to realize that there is oil in the tank now to shut off the light.
