Two quick questions about the 500R specifically a 2001. Does anyone know what the max weight of the bike is? I bought the bike used so I don't have a manual to look this up in. Also when I go to start the bike, when I put the key in, and turn it to the on position the red oil light comes on. Is this normal? It turns off as soon as the bike is started.

Thanks for the help!

oil light is normal, as for the max weight Im not really sure, but I've had me and a girl on mine that totaled about 380lbs or so with no problems

thanks for the info nomav6. If anyone has the official max weight though, I'd still appreciate that. Also, should I be increasing the preload or anything on the rear suspension if I have a passenger? If so, how would I go about doing that?
