Trust me all the zr500s ive owned ive never seen the oil light come on!!!!!!!!!!Why,first off its a bigger tank on the zrs,i always top off oil before every trip.I was shocked when oil light came on at 80 miles,but not really surprised after reading all the posts about the oil light problem on the f5s,but my f5 didnt fall into that recall problem,mine was a second build,vin number didnt fall in that recall.Anyways like i said though it used twice as much as my zr500,me and my wife where pretty much taking it easy this weekend,so twice as much oil concerns me!!!!!!!!!!!!!2001 zr500 apv used 3/4 of a quart in 120 miles-f5 used 1 and half quarts-i let my wife break in the f5,she babied it and it still used twice as much oil-not good.By the way i kept a nervous eye on that oil tank until we got back to the hotel,was checking that damn thing every 10 miles,hard to see the level at night,thank god i had the maglight. but if you look hard enough day or night you can see the level,unlike the coolant tank where you cant see through the tank!!!!!!
