If the light won't go out, sometimes you have to "burp" the filter because it gets an air bubble that doesn't want to purge. I haven't had this on the Connie yet, but it's happened on my Z1000 several times. To burp it, unseat the filter just a little, then start the bike and as soon as oil starts coming out of the filter screw it on, turn off the bike and tighten the filter. Unlike what someone said earlier you can fill the filter before putting it back on and you don't lose all the oil from it while putting it on even though it's horizontal, in fact you lose very little. At least that's been my experience. Have you ever tried to drain a filter after taking it off? All that really drains out is what's right in the center channel; the oil inside the filter takes time to work it's way out. To prime the filter you need to fill the filter and let it set for a few minutes. As the oil gets "absorbed" keep putting more in until it's full. Some people say it helps.
