Default Oil pressure on boom box

Can I get what the actual oil pressure is to show on the boom box instead of just having the word "OK" showing?

Or is it not available on TriGlides? I thought I saw it on another boom box but couldn't tell if it was on a trike.

Thanks,

I believe they took that option out on all the M8 bikes in 2017


My 14 SGS had it, but the 17 does not.

I'm an easy guy to please , If it says OK , Then its OK with me....
Besides i don't need or want another number to look at or worry about if it might read a little different one day to another...Like the highly inaccurate volt gauge...

I agree with you rhino 2, I was just wondering if it was a setting I didn't do correctly.

They switched from the actual number to ok in 2017. My 2016 trike shows the number, my friend's 2017 just shows ok

A little extra here and a little extra there , And before you know it the bike gets too expensive....And nobody buy's them... The reality is if a part cost the manufacture one dollar.... To make a profit they have to sell it for three dollars..

shows how the economy changes.. the old rule was
2% profit = If it cost $1, sell it for $2

Default boom box pressure

If it cost $1.00 to buy and you sold it for $2.00 that would be 100 percent profit not 2 percent. 2 percent profit would mean you sold it for $1.02

It's been discussed and it's believed that the new pressure sensor is just an open/closed sensor and cannot give actual numbers, therefore getting an actual pressure reading would require changing the sensor.
