Re: VFR400 OIL LIGHT and braded lines

That oil light is very worrying.
Especially since it didn't come on before.
It sounds as though your getting low oil pressure at idle. (do not run the bike until you can confirm this isn't happening as you'll get engine damage)
Maybe oils getting too thin!?
10/40 is the correct grade synth or semi synth (semi synth is prefectly ok) if there the same grade they should behave the same.
Is the oilstraner clear? (its in the sump) and nothing blocked?
Perhaps draining the oil has moved some crap in the engine?
