The thing with my oil is that unless I keep the oil topped off,

warning device I prefer to only see it when it really means something.

This is exactly how my bike acts too. I keep the oil level about halfway between the two hash marks on the window and i get the light while idling on the side stand, it goes off when I take off, but comes back on about 30 seconds later, then goes off again about 20 seconds after that, like clockwork. If I fill it higher it blows it back out.
