Agreed.  However, a spark plug would have to be seriously longer to make contact with the 650's piston.  It would also not account for the oil pressure light that remains on while the motor is running. 

All symptoms he has presented point to a lack of oil pressure.

Haakon:
Fully agree with "Jughead".
"Knocking noise" AND a oilpressure light thats ON is bad news.
(a knocking noise can be caused by several things but as it "started" at the same time the oil pressure warning light stayed on it MUST be "investigated"- I do not believe in thats sort of coincidents!

Do you have more information?
(I admit I have not read everything)

Re what "Jughead" said of the valves in the oilfilter housing: to remove the valve plugs can be almost impossible on some bikes.
I would have the bike in gear and with the sidestand down- Then push the starter- the the engine will be turned by the starte motor but NOT start. (minimal strain on the engine parts so no damage if there are no oilpressure)
Do this with the filter housing open to see if oil is emerging.
Its just the firts step - and easy to do. (before opening the clutch cover)

MODIFED- keep the clutch handle pulled when doing this :-)))
