My oil light came on , on my 96 Yamaha virago 750. I changed the oil and filter, but it still is on. My pump is still working and I don't have any leaks. Iit doesn't have an oil sensor, it has a switch, which doesn't help me, cause I know nothing about that. Don't how to check that, not sure if you even can. Not sure what else to do.

@donbrucker per workshop manual your bike should have a Oil Level Sensor Gauge which is of course separate from the oil pressure switch. Here is how to check the oil level switch Oil level switch - removal, check and installation
Removal
1 Drain the engine oil.
2 The oil level switch is mounted in the bottom of the crankcase.
Note how its wiring harness is routed, then unplug the electrical connector.
3 Remove the cover, then-unscrew the switch.
Check
4 Connect an ohmmeter between the terminals of the switch harness. With the switch in its normal installed position, the ohmmeter should indicate infinite resistance.
5 Turn the switch upside down. The ohmmeter should now read zero ohms.
6 If the ohmmeter doesn't give the correct indication in Step 4 or 5 replace the switch.
***It might help us to help you to figure this out by seeing what exactly you have going on there. Post a couple of images of the sensor the close by wiring etc. with your question. that way we can see what you see. https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Adding+imag...

Hi, thanks for responding.im hoping this pic is of the sensor on the bottom of oil pan. I'm gonna trying what you just mentioned now
@donbrucker yes it is for that sensor. Keeping my fingers crossed that it is the cause for this issue. Keep us informed
