OK, so I found the reason for the low oil pressure....

I have bought a new oil pump and clutch. Hopefully this will be all that is needed to get the engine running again.
Of cause I will give the engine a thorough cleaning before i close it again.

I have learnt that the machine screws holding the sprocket to the clutch can be shared (cut), this will of cause lead to major damage as can be seen from the pictures.

OK, so just to finish the topic.
I exchange the oil pump and the coupling. Had the engine washed with a mixture of petrol and engine oil. Change the oil filter (needless to say)
As soon as I had the starter run for 3 or 4 second the oil lamp turned off.
I ran the bike for about 40 km today and I observed no problems and could hear no suspicious noise from the engine.
What a machine, I already love it :-)

In conclusion I will recommend that the three bolts holding the pinion and coupling together are checked or exchanged with forged bolts ( mine where specified as strength 10.9).
(The coupling that I bought on ebay was also modified with helicoil in the aluminium part of the coupling, and there were ballbeiring balls inside the coupling springs).
Best regards to you all
