Yes, very common. The oil light is a level light not a pressure light and it under reads a lot when cold. Best cure is always be topped right up with oil.

'tis a typical Yamaha trait.
When you next change the oil, drop the sensor out of the sump and give it a good clean up - crud and stuff can collect around it giving false readings.I have the same thing with the FZR, so just check the level every other day (doesn't really use any).When it comes to changing the oil next I'll drop the sump and give it a clean out.

Job done, just done 17 miles to work and no problems, lesson learnt here, check the oil more frequent
