oil pressure check

[weedahoe]

Anyone did an oil pressure check on this bike before? What did you use?

You make friends with someone who owns of these.....

Find the fitting that suits and off you go

Ive got all kinds of testers (vac, oil, fuel, ect)

I was interested in the adapters really. What Im thinking about is adding a permanent connection in the side of the engine to a blue oil pressure display and will match my 12v read out and blue shift read out. Even though I keep and eye on my oil, I still get leery after reading so many oil consumption threads

Oil consumption threads are viral like vacuum petcock threads. A few vocal people make everyone think there is a major problem.

Heck - all kinds of bikes have vacuum petcocks. Even that Ninja I will fix when its owner brings oil.

I've not had an oil issue and don't know of anyone here in Seattle that has had that problem. If you watch your oil level, then you'll soon know if you are burning up oil. Except for a sudden failure, watching your oil level will tell you if you will use up too much oil on a 500 mile trip and need to carry extra oil.

Not sure what good a pressure gauge would be. You have the oil light. Until it comes on, you have enough oil. When the red light comes on, you have a problem. I don't think a pressure gauge would tell you oil is getting low. As long as there is oil, it will pump and have pressure.
