If memory serves me right, I remember several years ago that Katana sent a 
service
bulletin to their dealers on this very same subject. Their solution to the 
failed
oil pressure sender problem was to remotely mount the sender on the firewall by
a
flexible hose.

I'm sorry to say but I have just replaced my third sender in 500 hrs. It would
appear I am a slow learner.......
