What is your idle RPM? If it should be around 1000-1100.
BTW the oil light is a LOW Pressure indicator not low quantity. My bike will do this also if idling too low.

Thanks for your replay,
The RPM is 1000 to 1100 , but it will come on at 4500 RPM , so I then off the bike and then it on and the light go off some times 15 or 20 miles and comes back on at 45 MPH to 80 MPH , , and today rode 67 miles and light came 1 time

There must be someway to check the pressure.
These bikes have grounding issues. in the instrument consoles.
I'd spend the time finding out, weak pressure and the main bearings may not be getting oil. It takes pressure to force oil thru the galleries in the cranckshaft.

I have the procedures for the grounding mod if you want it.
I agree it sounds like an wiring issue.
