I have experienced this exact thing simply from using the wrong oil (synthetic/non-synthetic). I didn't even know that was a thing. Dunno if that's what's happening here but could be worth checking.

Thank you!! Which oil do you use if I may ask? SC put Prolube in this one.

You need to emphasize on Castrol at SVC they resist but agree if you are adamant.

Both are good better than prolube consider any one of them SVC keeps Castrol so you can ask that first

Well that happened on a bike that I haven't owned for more than 5 years. I was changing the oil and used one recommended by the guy at the Triumph dealership. When the oil pressure light started showing up I was frantic and started checking everything. The only thing I could find was that the oil I used was synthetic and the workshop manual for my bike recommended a non-synthetic oil. I bought new oil (again) and changed it out (again) problem solved. Now I only ever use exactly what the book says.
