I just finished reassembling the Gs's engine and gave it a few cranks to ensure I have oil pressure but I got nothing. Did I miss something? Any recommendations?

Did you remember to put oil in it?
Oil pump installed correctly?
How are you checking the pressure? Using a gauge or the idiot light? -
Sorry, but once again, we have to ask ... WHAT BIKE ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT???
I realize that you are new, so let me tell you in the words of bwringer:
"although the GSR hive-mind is rather omniscient and darn near omnipotent, we are not yet clairvoyant".
In other words, we know a lot and can probably help you, but you have to give us a clue.

Those motors are notorious for poor oiling, Use the search function , as I know it has been covered on this site. I believe it involves shimming the oil pump or something1984 GS1100GK newest addition to the heard

“Remember When in doubt use full throttle, It may not improve the situation ,but it will end the suspense ,
If it isn't going to make it faster or safer it isn't worth doingComment

Pretty sure the pressure gauge should be installed by removing the pressure switch from the oil filter cover. I would take the pressure reading from there. The spec for that engine is 43-78 psi @ 3000 rpm.Comment

You won't get much if any pressure at the head until the engine is running and the rpm's are up a little.Ed
To measure is to know.

Thanks guys, I am going to continue with the reassembly process and verify oil pressure with the engine running. I will let you know what happens.
