Based on the conditions that need to be met to display green, it is kind of useless. I'm not sure if there is a backup pressure gauge that would let you know your bike was about to grenade itself due to a lack of oil when the oil level sensor requirements are not being met.
If you use that to check the oil the bike needs to be idling in neutral.
I don't use it so I don't remember how long it has to idle.
Just checked the manual. It's 20 seconds with the oil at operating temperature.
Exactly. It would be good to have that information before you let the bike warm up or let it idle for 20 seconds (while upright, with a rider, with the proper suspension setting, etc.). If you ride off without waiting that 20 seconds while meeting the proper parameters, the symbol will be greyed out until you take the time to do that.
