Or just do like my buddies did to me back when my bike was new. "Someone" emptied half a quart of oil under it while we were stopped overnight.

I have always found duct tape very useful when dealing with my son.

What kind of help are you looking for?

Don't be too concerned about oil pressure. Evo's are notorious for low pressure, especially at idle. Start you bike, pull the oil tank cap, and look to see good oil flow in the tank. You should observe good circulation inside the tank.

The price paid appears to be a nice find! Congrats!!
