It sounds like it's behaving properly but there's always a chance that the pressure sending unit is out of calibration. Hook up a pressure gauge to where the sender mounts to the engine and check the pressure.
The oil pressure should be as follows:
Hot idle - at least 1.1 bar
Cold idle - at least 2.5 bar
4,000 RPM - at least 4 - 6 bar
Evoluzione sells an inexpensive pressure gauge, as do others.
http://www.evoluzione.net/ The most probable to least probable reasons for low oil pressure:
Low oil level
Wrong viscosity oil (you should be using a 50 weight)
High oil temperatures (check for bent oil cooler radiator fins)
Plugged oil filter
Plugged oil pickup filter
Stuck (open) pressure relief valve
Stuck (open) bypass valve
Worn (out of spec) oil pump
Worn (excessive clearances) bearings
It would be really unwise to just continue to ride it without knowing if the oil pressure is actually low. Low oil pressures cause (expensive) rod and main bearing failures.
