Default No oil pressure

My 2013 RG Custom will not start. Was working fine when I last rode it. The battery is good and oil level is good. It sounds like the oil pump energizes when I turn the switch but oil pressure stays at zero and the engine won't even attempt to turn over. There is only 3200 miles on the bike. Any ideas?

It's suffering from neglect. It's dying of loneliness.

First, you won't get oil pressure til the engine is running.
2nd, what you're hearing energize is the fuel pump.
Third, how do you know the battery is good? How old is the battery? Did you have it load tested?
How long has the bike been sitting?

More than likely a dead or severely discharged battery.

With the ignition key turned on, what does your volt meter read?

If it's not "10" or higher, even if the engine was to crank over it may not start and if it's below "10" you need to put it on a battery charger (not a battery tender" for a few hours to see if that changes anything.

If your bike is going to sit for more that a couple of days (especially in cooler weather) you need to always hook it up to a battery tender.

Because they "cheat."

OP...it's obvious you have no clue so time to (1) read your owners manual and/or (2) sell the bike. Sorry, but you're not going to get alot of lov'n here for simple/stupid stuff.
