JUST GOT MY FIRST BUELL AND I PUT A JARDINE RT1 CAN ON IT. DURING THE PROCESS OF TAKING THE STOCK EXHAUST OFF I SLIGHTLY TWISTED THE MIDDLE OIL LINE ( ABOUT A 1/4 - 1/3 OF A TWIST ) AFTER GETTING THE EXHAUST ON I CHANGED THE OIL AS WELL AND TOOK IT FOR A QUICK RIDE. DURING THE RIDE I WATCHED THE OIL LIGHT AND IT NEVER CAME ON?

AM I OK OR SHOULD I REPLACE IT?

Are you leaking oil? Did you check your brake fluid level and oil level?

how bad did you twist it,
is it or was it KINKED or pinched over do you see any marks on it or any bent or broken steel braid covering?? and how did you twist it?? and where abouts in the line did you twist it??

when i was un screwing the 3rd / middle line the line rotated abt a 1/4 turn and it twisted / kinked the line a little bit

the line is still fully intact and not leaking at all

when i rode it the oil light didnt come on at all at high rpm or idle

what does that line do?

It's either line 1, 2, or 3 in the diagram below. It's from a service manual you can download off here or BuellMods.com. You can figure out which line by tracing where they begin:

I would look into changing that line. It's not worth the problem later on.Welcome to the forum. The clips and small parts are even AT the dealer are inexpensive.The Oil line may be expensive. At least get it part number & priced so you don't get caught off guard.
