"Is the oil pressure OK?" don't tell them that! They'll all freak out when they put a gauge on the motor and see how little there is...
Ya ., forgot about that little detail again Spanners39.
The manual lists 12-35 psi. hot @ 2000 rpm.
Others say look for 10-12 psi. @ hot idle and approx. 30 psi. at revs. over 2000.? As Spanners says ., these values wont help a dude trying to see if a Harley motor has "good " oil pres. The hogs are apperantly designed to pump oil volume and not big oil pressure . Still getting used to that myself.
Just tore my 92 down and found I have the HQ-24 in it this would explaine the 72 HP and 79 ft lbs on the dyno and this bike pulls harder than the 01 Dyna ever thought of .
