I have a 96ci Vtwin and my pressure gauge tells me:
idling.......44psi at startup, 14psi when hot
highway........46psi when starting out, 40psi when hot

Default Evo no oil pressure

I replaced the lower case, and now no oil pressure oil filter is full, but the light will not go off, I reved the engine and it went off but back on at idle, I pulled all three plugs, one the spring and ball, two the spring and filter, the third just a spring, I thought the rear outside plug was suppose to have a spring and a sleeve or bypass valve but it is not there.

Mines a 96ci. I also have the AN gauge.

Cold start idle - 45 psi

Hot idle - 5 psi

You need to start your own thread for this....

Start it in the EVO section if you want good info...
