Default Oil and Fuel Indicator issue

Greetings Friends, I have an issue for (92 ZX11 Ninja) which I am looking for any thoughts you can throw at me. I had removed the fairings for some cleaning. Changed Oil and filled the Gas. After which I have been driving the bike for a few days for a half hour to 45 minutes. I start the bike and idle it for some time, no problems. The Oil and Fuel indicators are off. While I am in driving for say 30 minutes, the Oil and fuel indicators start flickering. They do not stay on continuosly.

My questions:
1. The worst case scenario that the Oil is low. I checked the oil through the Oil glass window and it looks at good level(slightly over the max limit).
2. The Fuel is all the way to full capacity.
3. Battery is charged (but needs to be replaced soon.)
4. Temprature Gauge stays at half point. Coolant looks good. Fan comes on once in a while.

What beats me is that these lights flicker only after around half hour of driving. [:@]

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanx!

Hmmm...cleaning? Could be afew things. 1. Water or something got into the wiring/fuse/connections. (and it takes a good "warm-up" to begin drying things out.) 2. You possibly pinched some wires when re-installing your plastic.
Sounds like it's an electrical issue more than an actual "No Oil" or "No Gas" issue.
You may want to check all of the possible pinch points/attach-points on your plastic and hit the potential moisture traps with a hair dryer.

Thanks for the input, but I wonder if any issues with wiring, then shouldn't they start acting up at the time I fire up the bike?

Why only after the bike gets toasty?
