The reason for the high oil pressure reading is that the oil pressure sensor has failed and it's very common. You can either change the sensor which is a fairly involved process or you can relocate the sensor. Some members have used a short cut by cutting a section from the cowl which allows easy access.
I'll try to find some links for you.
EDIT:
What you need is in the DIY sticky in C5 Tech:
