No oil pressure.
Johnny4428:
20 kicks no difference on oil level so gave it another 20 still no difference. Still sitting at top mark.

So after that many kicks, oil should have circulated fully. Have you checked the connection to the oil pressure switch yet?

Not yet Julie, would the light still come on if there was a problem with connection? Also I have had the bike started, very briefly and I am quite sure there is an oil pressure issue.

I think, but could be totally wrong, the light would stay on if the wiring wasn't connected properly somewhere along the line. Did you have a problem with the oil pump before?
Johnny4428:
Never had any issues prior to strip and rebuild. I had this issue on initial start up after rebuild, so suspected oil pressure switch, a new switch was fitted and made no difference at the time. But eventually oil pressure came up and all went quiet. And never had any problems since, until now. I suspect there is not a lot wrong with oil pump since done 500 odd miles.
