I am new to the strom, but not new to motorcycles. Just bought mine a few days ago, I noticed that the oil level was a bit low so I added some. I went for a ride yesterday 30 miles or so, I went out to start it this afternoon and noticed that the check oil and the red oil light was on. the oil level looked low so I added a little more oil, the oil window on the side of the case is full but the oil light still goes on, any ideas what is going on?

If there is an oil can symbol and a red light while the engine is running, shut it off immediately to prevent further damage. If the key is on and the engine has not yet been started, the engine is not pumping oil so the red light is normal.

On the center stand will read a little high and on the side stand will be terribly high. The bike is supposed to be on its wheels, on level ground and held vertically. I find it easiest to use the center stand and leave just a bubble of air in the window to fill.
