This could be as simple as a faulty sender unit - replacements aren't too expensive I believe.

To be 100% sure that you don't have an oil pressure problem, I would temporarily fit an oil pressure gauge. A mechanical gauge is simple but difficult to read while driving unless you have a long tube from the engine to the gauge....
VDO used to make a kit which consists of an electrical sender unit and a gauge (of different required pressures) which can show you real time pressures while driving. I fitted one to my Ducati (temp installation) and SAAB (permanent installation) with good results. It will be a bit of buggering about with some wiring to the sender unit, but its well worth it for the piece of mind.
