Red oil light came on. How many miles do I have or don't ride at all until top off?

Did you clean your tappet screen. It will trigger the oil pressure light.

Also you could be sumping into the oil pan. If so you could end up with too much oil. Let it sit for a day and drain the oil pan, not the oil tank. Be very careful with those threads on the oil pan. Don't cross thread and don't over tighten when re-installing. Measure how much comes out. Should not be much. If more than a pint, there is a check ball under the tappet screen. You might need to pull the ball and polish the check ball seat and replace the check ball. You can find the technique around here somewhere or email Marky or Curtis.

Check ball is in the low tower of the oil pump. No screen there, only a spring on top of the ball that holds the ball on its seat when not running.

John is right. Been a year since I had this problem. But, you could still be sumping, and the tappet screen could be dirty.
