    What viscosity? Maybe pump/gallery clogged?

    Did you change the filter too? When you changed it did you u screw the filter to bleed air out or did you fill it with oil? Could be a bit of air lock, I used to put oil in filters when I was a Yamaha technician to help get things flowing easier.

    My older r1 used to do that. They have an oil level sensor rather than oil pressure. The swashing about under hard acceleration used to trick the sensor into think oil level was low. Could be the same thing on yours

    Big ends could be on the way out.
    Be kind to her.

    Normal, top the oil up a little more.

    I can’t believe how many dumb answers are here. This is a super common thing with these bikes. And the oil level sensor is very sensitive then when you go fast the light likes to come on. Happen on my 2002 and my 2009 all the time period I just added a little extra oil and it stopped.

    1ve had a 99, 09, and 05, and every one will flash some if you have it near the limiter a lot for a long period of time, oil cant get bacj to the pan as fast as your pumping it up.

    My 04 did the same, I just kept the oil level right at the top line and then it’d stop doing it

    My 04 r6 does the same

    WOW. why do people take a guess at something they know nothing about and pass it off as fact.

    Fact: They "oil" light on an 04 R1 is an indicator of the oil level and has absolutely nothing to do with oil pressure. The oil level sender is located in the sump and these are known to fail over time. So either your oil level is low or this sender is failing!!!! Its that simple

    U need 2 top it up nearer 2 the top mark an not between the 2 lines.
