Oil pressure changes
I don't remember my oil pressure changing except at idle. It's always been at 32 psi. Recently I've noticed that my oil pressure drops to around 25 when I'm riding in slow traffic and usually doesn't go back up to 32 for a good while once I get on the open road, if at all. Once the bike has been shut off and it cools down some it returns to 32. Maybe I need to think about an oil cooler but the bike's got nearly 69 k on it and it seems that this "problem" has just started.
Today I was riding home from work doing 70-75 on the freeway and noticed that the pressure was up around 36-38.
So what would cause these high/low readings? Oil pump? Any help appreciated.

Mine has always shown varying oil pressures like you describe. I agree with Challenger, sounds normal. However, I would like to know more about the oil pressure readings and what to watch out for (otherwise the guage doesn't help me much or mean much to me)
