    Oil pressure dropping

    Hey all, I put on one of the COO pressure gauges earlier this year. The bike was running between 8-9 psi per 1000 rpm. Today, went for a ride and noticed was only getting between 6-7 per 1000. Is this something to worry about? It was hot as hell here today, above 100, and I was riding around in...

    Oil pressure, cam bearings??

    It occured to me while taking my engine apart that there are no cam bearings???? Could this be one of the places where oil pressure is lost on higher mileage Maxes that exhibit good rod and journal bearings, i.e. no visible wear???? Also.... I wonder if these engines have places that...

    Oil Pressure Question

    I installed an oil pressure gauge kit from cycleoneoff a couple of weeks ago just because I don't really feel comfortable not being able to see some type of oil pressure reading. Anyways, I really have no idea what the op gauge should be reading under normal conditions but mine seems to be...

    Oil pressure gauge

    Hey all, I bought one of COO's oil pressure gauges and finally got around to mounting it this morning. When I got the old plug out and went to install the gauge's plug, I realized that I had not received the new crush washer with it.:confused2: Thanks to the forum, though, I was able to...

    Lost clutch pressure... twice.

    Alright I wasnt sure what thread to jump in with this so I am just making another one. (Because we alllll love sifting through 100's of threads looking for the one that helps us) Anyhow, back story: Shortly after getting my vmax, I put it down, "gently" in the grass. We picked it up (Me and a...

    Clutch lever pressure....

    Having never ridden a Vmax until a couple weeks ago and having never used a hydraulic clutch I don't know how hard it should be to pull the clutch in. I'm used to my Harley Ultra with the heavy clutch spring and it is much easier to pull than my '93 Vmax. Is this normal for the bike or do I have...

    mechanical substitute for air pressure in front forks?

    I thought I had read in a back issue of a VBoost magazine that someone had substituted a mechanical "preload" in place of the stock air pressure fitting at the top of the front forks. I've gone back through them and cannot find it. Has anyone a) heard of this? b) know anything about it? c) tried...

    My clutch was acting a little weird. Usually the friction point is in the first inch, It was near the middle/ end. so I tried to bleed some air out. Now I have no pressure in the line what so ever. I don't have a mityvac, Any advice??

    Sight Glass Test For Oil Pressure????

    SGT For Oil Pressure???? Verified it's OK...... I have an oil pressure gauge coming from Cycle One Off. In the mean time, I'll ask a question about a Go-No Go indication using the sight glass as an indicator. With the bike setting level, my oil level is at the top mark for the sight glass. I...

    Residual line pressure?

    Went to bleed / flush the clutch master the other night and had an odd experience. Opening the bleeder without touchingthe clutch lever resulted in a continuous flow of fluid, to the extent that my master reservoir was draining itself. I don't know if I have a residual pressure issue that...

    Normal oil pressure at idle?

    I just installed my cycle-one off oil pressure gauge and was wondering what most people get at startup. Mine starts at about 20-25 then warms up to about 30 psi. i bought the o ring kit too but i'm trying to decide should i hold off since that is going to require more work. Is that pressure...

    New master cylinder, bled, still no pressure

    I know bleeding has been covered a few times and I've read all I can find... I have just replaced both master cylinders, brake & clutch with OEM's and replaced the lines with braided lines. Initially I couldn't get pressure in either lever. I eventually got the clutch working after starting...
