I've got a slightly different problem. After having my bike (Griso 8V) for about a year, I started getting a thing where after 2+ hours of hard riding, corresponding with the engine getting warmer, I get flashes of the red light at low RPM. At first it only started in hot, stop-and-go traffic, but now I'm seeing it after two hours of freeway cruising mixed with higher speed surface roads.
I can typically dismiss the red light by blipping the throttle, but I am concerned that I am seeing the light at all. Oil levels have been checked and are always OK, and I've even replaced the oil very prematurely (1500 km) with the proper 10w-60 as a precaution, with no effect.
Here are a couple of questions:
1. Could this be seen as a symptom of some sort of other damage in the engine that I could be concerned about? When I change the oil there is no swarf in the waste oil or on the magnetic plug, and the engine runs normally otherwise.
2. Is there some sort of diagnostic a shop could do for a reasonable amount of effort to detect any creeping damage, like bearings etc., so that i could take some sort of preventative measures or maintenance before any damage gets worse?
Thanks-
