I got the bike (06'&nbsp\\;Streetglide)&nbsp\\;back from the dealer and according to them, my oil presure is running low.&nbsp\\; At a stand still no oil pressure but at 70 mph it is reading 30 PSI.&nbsp\\; I only have a little over 12,000 mi on the bike and it is having problem already.&nbsp\\; My 02' Roadking ran like a champ, over 38,000 mi without any problem.&nbsp\\; (I am still pissed about by Roadking. &nbsp\\;A cager&nbsp\\;changed lane and took&nbsp\\;the Roadking&nbsp\\;and I out about two years ago).&nbsp\\; Back to the issue, was there a low oil pressure problem with the earlier 06' Streetglide?

[align=left]i know mine runs at almost 0 when at idle think thats pretty normal.&nbsp\\; cant remember what its at speed but think its around 40 [/align]

 

My '00 RG reads a little above 0 at idle and at around 60 mph, it reads around 30 - 32. It sounds normal to me. As long as you don't hear any top end noise, I would say it is ok.

 

I think if you look at the gauge closely you'll see that the oil pressure is actually around 5psi idling and it goes up to 30-35psi on the road. As others have said it's normal (do a search on here and you'll see what others have said).

Enjoy the SG...it's a sweet bike!

 

More than likely you don't have any problem, but if you're reading a true zero pressure at idle you "may" have either a sender or gauge that could be replaced.&nbsp\\; Sounds like the "dealer" would like to sell you a motor rebuild, or another new bike.

 

I wish they'd recalibrate the gauge so it didnt LOOK so scary LOL

 

low at idle here too

 

Are you saying the dealer told you that just by looking at the gauge? What kind of a dealer would say that? They all are low at idle on the gauge and about 35 at speed.

 

Thanks for all replies. So I am okay with the reading.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;The dealer took me for two bills and told me that this is not normal.&nbsp\\; They said I should be at 15 PSI at ideal and 40 to 42 at speed.&nbsp\\; I do have a little top end noise so I am wondering if oil is not getting up there to lubricate the motor and the dealer is basing the low oil pressure.&nbsp\\; How can I check for this?

If it reads "0" at idle when it's cold you might have a problem! Mine reads 10-15 cold at idle then drops to around 5 when it's hot.
