Just curious, did you check your oil?
 
I wouldn't run that bike any more until someone looks at it... Trailer it to the dealer or have someone come get it...

Mike..
 
I wonder if the light goes off for either pump? I was thinking one could exchange the sending unit for a real oil pressure gauge and fire her up quick and short to see if it has pressure if so I would wonder if you lost the drive/chain on the scavenger pump. I don't know but thought I would toss some ideas around.
 
Ahh yes! Back in the day you simply opened the oil cap and looked in to see if your Triumph was pumping oil properly. A solid stream on start up and then intermittent as the larger scavenge side emptied the sump.
 
that still works on the scavenger pump when you rev it oil will be everywhere been there done that and it is messy
