Which essential system is it that he neglected? So far as we know the cause is not yet known. A bit premature to be throwing hand grenades at the poor guy. He's already havin' a bad day.

I'm not throwing hand grenades!
Plus, bad days are common.
It's not everyday your motorcycle c0ck blocks you.

He assumed it was bone dry because he doesn't know how to check his oil level.

$10 says this has absolutely nothing to do with oil. His bike stalled and the oil light came on as it would on most any other bike.

But... he had it towed home - and now he's going to take it apart?
Wow, I wonder. Basic, fundamental methodical troubleshooting seems to be a skill in decline...

I have to ask, Why didn't you conduct a circle check of your bike prior to riding? By conducting your circle check you would have discovered your oil was low and then add some if required. Do you ever check your oil on a regular basis? Obviously not!
If you did not cause any engine damage you are extremely lucky.

Hey, my bike just stopped on the highway and the oil light came up. I checked and its bone dry. Gettin caa to tow me to walmart where I last bought oil from. Can't remember the grade exactly, but I have a cbr 600 f4. Can I just buy new oil and fill her up and keep on going....have some hot girls in lake simcoe waiting for me today.

His oil wasn't low or gone to begin with. He simply doesn't know how to check the oil level properly and freaked out when the sight glass was empty.
