Try replacing the oil pressure sending unit. I have seen them fail.  Much
easier and cheaper than the oil pump.

Subject: [Ducati] Tech question- oil pressure light
So… on my 2001 ST4 the oil pressure light starts to flicker at the end of
a few hour ride.  Prior to this during a long summer ride in hot weather
the oil light flickered and stayed on. After that long ride, I changed the
oil and no longer experienced the flashing oil light. Now it appears to be
back. My question for anyone out there is… What is causing this and what
might the solution be? Thanks,

I've seen the oil pre-filter screen get plugged up when my flywheel failed,
causing the oil light to come on. Wouldn't hurt to pull it and make sure
there's nothing in there.
