pressure

Just want to double check that I'm reading my manual right. Min to max is 5.7-14.2psi? My front end feels really soft from what I remember so thinking that when the shop replaced the fork seals they didn't put air in the upper part. Want to make sure I've got the right info before going and...

hello all , has anyone tapped a oil pressure gauge to the external banjo fitting with lines going to the top of each head that lubes the valvetrain , and if so are the pressure readings the same as the oil galley plug on the bottom right side of the engine case ? the reason i am asking is i...

I hear about some pressure sensor on the vmax. What is it and what does it do? Also i noticed that there is a vacume hose on the front left intake manifold, what is this for?

I've been browsing on Ebay for oil pressure gauge kits. I've found a couple where the gauge mounts low on the side of the motor. They're reasonably priced, at around $60 or so shipped, but a gauge that low is only good for monitoring when starting the bike or maybe when stopped at a light...

I ordered a pressure guage to mount on the handlebars. Just curious...how hard it is to install from the side plug that everyone removes and puts in the gauge? I would like to try to do w/o draining all the oil in the bike because i just did an oil change. Also what pressure should you see...

When installing my ignition advance circuit I removed 2 wires from the pressure sensor connector to clean stuff up a bit. Stupid me...I forgot how two of the wires go. It's a 3 wire connector and I removed the hot wire (red/white or red/black for late model) and sense wire (black/red). Could...

For those that bought a bigger tach and don't use the small one in the instrument panel, why not replace it with something useful. What better place for an oil pressure gage so you can keep an eye on the pressure all the time and soon you will learn when the oil is hot enough to twist the...

Thanks in advance. After I receive my CarbTune real soon, I will be also be performing the method in the link below to hopefully cure my Max, but what can I use for the '100+ pounds of air pressure with a good tip' mentioned in the method?? http://vmax.lvlhead.com/tips/shotgun.htm Will a...

When I saw these things @ an auto parts store I thought they would be a good idea to use on the max but was concerned about ( would they mess up the balancing?) so I decided to try a 40 psi and test it on the max. I was able to use it only on the front 17 Kosman, it cleared the brake caliper by...

Does anyone know the proper tire pressire I should be running on my Metzeler ME 880's?

My understanding is that we place the fitting close to the oil level glass, But this will only measure the general pressure in the crank case below the cylinders and this pressure is actually the back pressure of the cylinders as they go down and not the oil pressure in the oil passages, if that...
