Its never just one light or the other that stays on after engine start. Its always both when it happens.

The three indicators have independent circuits and should operate independently, unless there is a bridge somewhere.
I would check that multi-connector for the cluster.
Again, the oil indicator is the one that is really critical, because these engines don't live more than a few seconds with insufficient pressure of oil.
If the light is not working correctly for that mysterious reason, you will not know when the engine lubrication has been compromised.
The pressure switch is normally closed when the engine is off, closing the path of current to ground.
Once the pressure increases, the switch opens and the indicator light turns off.
In the meanwhile, start the engine with the bike in a vertical position if possible.
