I don't think that absolute accuracy is that important. A couple of psi one way or the other isn't significant. What's important is that the gauge be "consistant" in how it reads. It's seeing an unexpected change in the reading that will alert the owner/rider to a potential problem. That's also where being familiar with the bike and what's "normal" for it is important too!

At idle I read about 10psi now. I do understand your concern.

I have that spring installed in mine. It does bring the oil presure up for sure

Anyone used that H-D liquid filled Oil Pressure gauge that's made to mount on the rear rocker box cover bolts of the RK and other models? Work good? Problem free?
