This was my dream bike back in the day. Then I fell in love with Aprilia Pegaso. Then 25 years later (when both got extinct) I finally got my first bike.
You don't have to start the bike to check for oil pressure. Just disconnect the spark plug and crank it over few times. That's a lot easier on the engine and also much safer after a re build. The debris from the damaged piston and cylinder has to go somewhere, so if you didn't flush the crank case, the oil lines and the frame, ride the bike until its warm and immediately do another oil change. You can do that a few times with cheap oil to be on the saver side and hope that most of the debris gets caught in the filter and the magnet on the oil screw. You don't want that stuff do ruin your oil pump again. Check also the oil strainer in the frame. Part number should be 15500-MG3-000. A little tip for the next time you're doing it. If you install new parts, clean everything! Clean the freshly honed cylinder, clean the piston and clean the new rings. They might not look dirty to the eye, but when you clean them with parts cleaner and a fresh rag, you see how much dirt and debris is still on there.

Very good MMRally!! Keep it up!!💪
Really enjoyed the video man! Great cliff hanger, keen for Pt II :)
You did a really good diagnostic, and fixed the problem. Nice job ;)

Waiting for part 2 then!!!
Superb! Subbed for part 2 :)
That motor won't last long if you didn't flush the metal debris out of the frame/oil tank and clean up the crankcase.
What broken bolt remover tool do you use?
It was an USAG conical extractor
