Default VMAX Oil Pressure Light?

Hi,
I'm thinking about buying a used vmax and I'm a bit weary about a flickering oil pressure light. The bike has had quite a few modifications.

The gentleman that i'm buying it from suggests it's a pretty normal issue, but I just wanted to make sure.

When the Vmax accelerates, the oil pressure light will flicker on. I guess the oil is shifting to the rear of the bike. Is this common on the bike? Does this indicate that it may have some leaking issues? or something blown out? Any advice out there?

Thanks
