If you take a look at the manual on page 2-19, it outlines how you can do an oil pressure check on your motor. If you're afraid you're not getting proper oil circulation, that would probably be a good place to start.

From the manual:

"OIL PRESSURE CHECK
Check the oil pressure periodically. This will give a good indication of the condition of the moving parts.

OIL PRESSURE SPECIFICATION Above 30 kPa (0.3 kg/cm2, 4.3 psi) Below 70 kPa (0.7 kg/cm2, 10.0 psi)
at 3 000 r/min., Oil temp, at 60°C (140°F)

If the oil pressure is lower or higher than the specification, the following causes may be considered. LOW OIL PRESSURE
* Clogged oil filter
* Oil leakage from the oil passage
* Damaged O-ring
* Defective oil pump
* Combination of the above items
HIGH OIL PRESSURE
* Engine oil viscosity is too high
* Clogged oil passage
* Combination of the above items"
