When to worry about oil starvation?

I got a 636 a couple weeks ago and my wheelies are further than they've ever been in the past. I'm going about one tenth of a mile. Do I need to overfill my oil or is oil starvation not even a problem with these short distances? Also, if the bike is starving for oil, will the oil pressure light come on?

Think about that... The light is there for a reason and if there is no oil it will come on... Mine comes on only when i hit 12 for a few seconds,, i do not worry about it because i ride a honda so its all good,, you however ride a kawi, so you have every right to worry... :YEAH

I run almost a full quart over. Probably dont need to worry much unless you are 12n.
