Is this a sensor problem, oil pump pressure problem, or what?
HD is well known for Oil Pressure switch failures.

It could be a faulty switch, or switch connection.

It also could be the computer systems no fully booting up before start-up.

It is one of the things we talk about in the video below...and we've seen it happen many times on bikes from 2019 and up, and a few times on older bikes....starting with the Rushmore's.
