How long does the oil pressure light take to go our on other peoples bikes from a cold start? I've never had a dry sumped anything so I don't know if this is normal, but from a cold start my oil pressure light takes probably 2-3 seconds to go out once the engine is started. Oil level is correct and the oil was changed a couple of hundred miles ago. Goes out within a second after the first start but I would normally expect the light to go out almost immediately regardless of hot or cold on any other engine...
 
Yes , this is "normal" 2 seconds. What you don't want is 12 seconds ! There should be oil on the stick every morning before you go out to start up. If everything is correct the oil level will not drop at all when parked for days or months ..
