I was going for a day ride rolled out the bike did a once over and warm up. upon departure I was approximately 1//4 mi. Away traveling at 35 mph. And the oil light came on. I was able to shut down in a quick and safe manner. initial inspection showed oil level at proper level. Further inspection indicated _oil pump failure_. at present kawasaki has agreed to replace the oil pump, seals rings etc. They are aware of this problem yet opt to wait tell failure occurs. As a caution not all kawasaki authorized dealers will mention this design issue. They would rather take the money and run. Kawasaki needs to step up and issue a recall before someone gets hurt. Repair cost est.$1207.00 labor plus parts. that's a lot of money to pay out due to a mfg. Problem. *Nm
