oil pressure question
I have the HD oil pressure kit on my 07 Deuce (96ci EFI). What is the oil pressure on your bike at 70mph and at idle so I can see if my pressure compares with the other bikes here.
Thanks

RE: oil pressure question
70MPH in what gear? Oil pressure is dependent on RPMs and temp...
According to the 2008 Softail Service Manual, Pg. 3.1, Table 3-2, Oil Pump Specifications:
Oil Pump Pressure: 30-38PSI at 2000 RPM and normal operating temperature of 230F.
Highly recommend you get a HD Service Manual ( ~ $60 at the dealer) to answer these sorts of questions...

Pressure on my bike at warm up idle is about 20-25 psi. Warm idel is anywhere between 15-20. I dont know what it is at 70mph though

On my Ultra which is the TC88, at hiway speeds it runs approx 35psi and at idle approx 10psi or less. When the engine is cold it has run as high as 60 psi but as the bike warms up it drops back down to approx 35psi.

RE: oil pressure question
70mph in 6th gear. What gear did you think I would be in at 70mph. As for the observing the oil pressure at 2000rpm's... my bike doesn't have a tach and that is why I asked at a specific mph and at idle. I do have a manual.
