Default Oil pressure light

Anybody had any issues with their oil pressure light? I just changed the oil in my 05 VStar 1100 Custom over the weekend. I've already put a couple hundred miles on it since the oil change. This morning while riding to work, I looked down and the oil light was on. It went back off after a couple seconds just as I was letting off the gas to pull over. I rode the rest of the way to work, and it didn't come back on. When I got off the bike, I checked the oil level and checked quickly for leaks. The oil level is between the low and high marks, although it's just a tick above the low mark, so I probably could add a little more and be ok. Anybody have any ideas what would cause this? Is this a known issue for the 1100's?
