How long on M1? If a history of dyno, might be a sludge issue, pull VC and look, re-torque while you are in there. Can also fish through drain hole to look for sludge/slime. Synthetic can loosen sludge that then clogs the intake screen. Oil pressure relief valve can be inspected to see if its stuck or free, score or not and smoothed if needed.
Chemical solvent type oil addatives or flushes can be used to free sticking lifters if that is what the problem is. One can use AutoRX as well.
Is low oil pressure warning functioning before startup?
Does the oil look ok?
Any coolant losses?
Short trips or longer? Gets fully warmed up?
