If The Low Oil Pressure Indicator Lights - Honda CBR1000RR 2006 Owner's Manual

If you check your engine oil level
regularly, you should never see the low oil
pressure indicator and the malfunction
indicator lamp (MIL) go on while riding.
Normally, both will only light
momentarily when you turn the ignition
switch ON. Occasionally, it may flicker at
or near idling speed.
Low oil pressure may be caused by an oil
leak, a low oil level, or some problem in
the engine's lubrication system.
If the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL)
and the low oil pressure indicator light
while you're riding, don't ignore them.
Pull safely to the side of the road. If
possible, pull the clutch lever in and coast
to a stop. Stop the engine as soon as it's
safe to do so.
