Follow the instructions as nasty said once the petrol tank is proped up the 2stroke oil is the bottle on the right if its got the origanal lid on it do'es have oil printed on it. Check this ASAP if it runs out you will get big problems castrol 2T TTS is a good oil bit more expensive but worth it.
Has for the engine/gearbox oil if you don't know when this was last changed it also worth changing it uses 4 stroke bike oil like castol 4T fully synthetic only cost about £9 for a litre.
On the right side of the bike just above the brake pedel you will find a sight glass start the bike and let it run for a few minutes turn it off with the key not the stop button wait a few minutes hold the bike level and check the level on the sight glass marks. if the oil is a very dark colour its worth changin. it takes 700mls of oil once drained if your not sure on how too do an oil chnge just ask and l will run you throught it.

Yes it is more expensive if you buyit by the litre but the nsr only needs 700mls on an oil change so unless you don't mind payin £20 for 4lts and have it sitin around for ages you should go for the 4ltr tubs.

This light is difficult to test, and as such I wouldn't necessarily rely on it to govern your oil supply. If you run out of oil the engine will seize and you will have a LARGE repair bill.

The best method to test your oil light is let the tank run down to the last 200ml. Then wheelie, the light will illuminate. At least that's how I found out the light works.

that's not the best way , but it works (what happens if it doesnt ?)
the other way is to take off the tank cap with the switch on it (not where you put oil , part 5 then , key on and get the float moving down , you will see if the LED lites on

Every time I fill my fuel tank I check the Oil and top up if neccessary ( "if neccessary"? I have to top it up every time I re-fuel ), I tend to go through about 1L of oil a month I think but the bike is in use daily.

when the LED begins to flicker it remains in the tank enough oil to run 30 miles , so i dont see why you must lift your tank when filling it up

Indeed Alanis.... My method, though fun, really isn't the best method
