    As the title says, I notice that during quick accelerations and occasionally when engaging the turbo, my oil light comes on for a split second before going back off. This only happens during quick acceleration. If I ride my bike casually the light never comes on. Any suggestions on what might be causing this?

    Top the oil off. Just have a small bubble showing in the sight glass.

    Alright. Thanks. I thought it might be something like that.

    You want just a small bubble showing at the top of the oil level sight glass.

    The same thing happens if I don't top off my FJ1200, the top off works great.

    Good chance you need to pull sensor and clean it. I had to do this to mine and it fixed it.
