Do not operate the engine while this fault remains.
Disconnect the oil pressure switch and check the oil light does not come on (with the ignition on and engine kill switch err in the position ready for starting - the battery light should be on .. but oil light off). If the oil light is on then you have a wiring problem - a short some where between the oil light and the switch ..
If that is ok ...
I'd re re check the oil filter.. even put in new gaskets and shims around the filter. Still no good .. take it to a mechanic .. on a truck. Have them test the oil pressure ( gauge - real numbers) and see what they think. If you have been operating the bike with this fault you could be up for another engine.. $$$
