It will show OK when the bike is running and Check Oil when the bike is not running. The only bikes that show PSI are CVOs. I think it was a glitch, but wanted to see if anyone else had saw it.

I had the same problem on my 2017 SGS / 107 air cooled. Oil light came on two different times, both after startup and no knocking, ticking, etc. Both times light went off after restart. Same thing happened to my buddy while riding the Tail of the Dragon on his 2017 RK / 107 air cooled. He swung into Pigeon Forge and they threw a sensor at it and it hasn't happened again. Since mine is an early build M8 (titled in Sep 2016) I went ahead and replaced the oil pump with the newest HD 8 lobe update (used it as an excuse to do the cam lol ) as a precaution. Don't know if that was a factor or this was a fluke. Time will tell, I'm tempted to add a oil pressure gauge just in case something similar happens again....... Being a truck driver by trade, I really have a pet peeve not knowing oil pressure lol.

I’m sure the light it’s self was just a glitch but I found it weird the the bike was displaying a PSI.
I had the EXACT same issue today on my 19 Ultra and came across this thread while searching, so I made an account to post. Haven't started it in about a week, and it was cold out (for Florida ~ 60 degrees). When I started it up, the oil pressure light stayed on. Checked the info screen and it read 74 psi. When I killed the engine, I noticed that the readout value dropped as the pressure tapered off; I watched it drop through the 30s, then finally to "check oil." When I restarted it went back to normal. No light and the screen just reads "ok". Oil level is good.

Mine did it again during a 1K ride in October. It was right after a gas stop, I pulled over and shut the bike off and restarted and it went away. I’m gonna replace the oil pressure switch when I change the oil next time. They are pretty inexpensive.
