The new design provides relief to the rider by relocating the heat and shedding it away from the operator. They really do feel much cooler when you ride it. In actuality the engine is even hotter. There is a relationship between this and the flickering oil light at idle.
This could be why the infotainment system for 17 quit showing oil pressure and just ok when running.  Not enough pressure to display.

They most likely got tired of all the low oil pressure inquiry's based off the readings they allowed people to see. Easy fix, take away the information. One less thing to worry a man trying to have a good time. Easier for the rider to focus on synchronizing mini joysticks with thumb covered gloves to sort through 500 GPS options, 250 music stations and 50 background color choices while enjoying the fresh air and solitude of the open road. They understand our needs.

How did you break in the motor?  From the OP it sounds like just tookoff into traffic.  That motor is going to get really hot those first few rides.  Ill bet you could smell plastic getting hot.

New bike, head for the open road and ride it easy for at least a couple of hours, cool down, repeat. a After 250 mi or so, ride it normal (easy normal).

Here is my update. The dealer in FL installed a new oil pump. Said it was the third one he has done. It's an upgrade from the one that came with the bike only 850 miles ago. They test drove the bike and no light so I loaded the bike up on the trailer and took her back to VA. First time starting in VA and the dam light stays on all the time now. The dealer will overnight me a pressure switch to install. If that does not work I'll find a dealer in VA to see what the hell is wrong.

See if the sender is plugged in.

It's plugged in. When it left the shop the light was out. Now it's on all the time.

Wow 2017 and MoCo still can't get it right.

Is it possible to remove the switch and install an analog test gauge?

Don't know. FL dealer is sending a new switch. My guess it's something else now with the new oil pump.

For me personally, there are only 2 important pieces of information that I need on a bike - oil pressure and odometer with trip readout (better than a gas gauge).  Everything else is "fluff".

Does the motor sound OK? Lifters rattling, anything like that?

Steve the motor sound fine. The dealer said he checked the pressure I'm not sure how so I think and hope it's just the sending unit. Should have a new one by Wednesday. If that does not fix it I told the dealer to come and get it and bring it back to FL. Steve looking for a set of pipes off my 2017 CVO Limited.

All the bad oil pumps I've read about on the M8 motors almost has to be a crap supplier.  How could the MOCO possibly screw up the design.  That would be almost as hard to believe as screwing up the front brake master cylinder after decades of using the same basic design...   (sarcasm intended)

Yes, that is exactly what the service manual says to do - remove oem oil pressure switch and install oil pressure gauge to verify actual reading.
Spec is:  min at idle 5 psi; normal @ 2000 rpm 30-38 psi; max 50 psi
