It's not a high pressure oil system so a gauge or light won't tell you anything you need to know. Very simple system, roller and caged-ball bearing crank. As long as nothing blocks oil to the rockers-cams-spindles in the head you should have no oil worries.
 
Just a side note. Some early 1000 revcounters had indeed the left control
light marked as "Oil".
On the 750s it's the "Gen" light. But as the 1000s don't have a regulator,
it is without function.
See the middle bottom picture.
