I just got my Suzuki Boulevard C50 from the dealer today, and everything was fine till I was playing with it today. Second time I started it up, the Engine Oil pressure warning light came on. I had someone sit on the bike while I checked the oil level window, which was full of oil. Is this something I can do by myself or should I notify the dealer?

Okay. It's supposed to come on when you turn the key, then go off after the motorcycle starts up.
So let's say that the light is staying on.
Call the dealer.
It's probably a metal flake stuck in the sensor (new motorcycles going through break-in get metal flakes in the oil). Your dealer may want to have a mechanic check it and do an early oil change.

It could be something as simple as low on oil (maybe you're not checking the level properly).
No one should be sitting on the bike when checking the oil level. Just hold it up straight ("as if" you were sitting on it).
Don't take any chances, bring it back to the dealer.
Could be -
Defective oil pressure switch.
Unplugged or shorted wire,
When in doubt, check it out.
Better safe than sorry.
