Default oil light question

Hi, I just picked up a 98 sportster.&nbsp\\; No manual, but the dealership serviced it before I rode it home.&nbsp\\; When I turn on the ignition switch, the Neutral and oil lights light up.&nbsp\\; When I start the engine the oil light goes away.&nbsp\\; Is this normal?&nbsp\\; I checked the oil level and it looks good.&nbsp\\; Thanks

Until you start the motor there is no oil pressure, thus the oil pressure indicator should be lit.
