Had this happen once. There was a centrifugal filter that I cleaned and didn't tighten the cover enough. It came loose and I lost pressure and welded the crank to the crankshaft. DO NOT RUN THE ENGINE.

Some things that could have gone wrong when changing oil:
Some are a bit far fetched, but I'm just brainstorming.
-there must be enough oil inside, it may go down when the new filter is filled up with oil after first start, so better check again.
-the right oil must be inside.
-the filter is mounted wrong (you didnt leave the protective plasic on?) or the filterhousingcover isn't closed right (would normally result in leakage)
- the wrong filter is mounted
- I know nothing of motorcycles but I assume they have an oilpump. There could be something wrong with it: wear, an overpressure safety on the pump has opened, but doesnt close anymore, a gear is slipping over its shaft, etc)
- It could be the old oil was so dirty and thick that it raised oil pressure and now you think the new oil gives low pressure. In this case I'd have the engine completely checked up.
-there is dirt in the measuring line of the oil press.gauge or a bend or a tight cable-tie could be blocking the line.
- the oil press.gauge has gone broke.
- Air trapped in the oil system (filter or pump)
- an oil line is blocked somwhere.
Cant think of any more right now, but hope it helps

maybe you didn't fix oil filter in the correct way, or some dirt or the filter rubber gasket is out of position. But how do you know you don't have any oil pressure, by the oil pressure warning light or what else?

After you install a new filter and check the oil level, check for a loose connection at the oil pressure sensor. Buy a new sensor, or troubleshoot the oil pressure wiring system.

you probably bought a wrong filter.
check out the part number of that oil filter that you replace and compare it with the new one.

so presumably you've not put back something properly then? Is the oil filter the correct one?

wrong filter or the holes are plugged
