Guys, yesterday I installed an oil pressure gauge
on my '99 RKC.
At idle no pressure at all, and at 40 mph in 3rd gear
pressure was around 5 - 7 psi
Are these normal readings ?
Motor is not clattering.
Don't no what happened, but when I started the bike today
(cold engine) pressure was around 40 psi
After warming up pressure at idle around 15 psi and during
the ride at appprox. 40 mph pressure was around 35 - 40 psi
Guess there were still some airbubbles in the new oil line
Thanks for your help guys !
