pressure

Hey I read its bad to set the idle under 1000rpm for fear of low/no oil pressure, so I've been keeping her at 1050-1150rpm... Any definitive answers to that one? Is it bad to let the rpms fall below 1000rpm?

I have a set of rear air shocks that came on the bike when I bought it. There aren't any markings on them that I can find. Any one know what kind of air pressure I should run in them?

Hi Guys, first of all can I say a big Hello from Durham in North East England. Although I am a very experienced motorcyclist of over 45 years standing and have had some very powerful bikes I have just bought my first Vmax. It's a 20th Anniversary model and I bought it last week with 3900...

I just installed Kawasaki ZX-14 reservoirs so I could fit adjustable levers to my 2000 VMax. The brake needed bleeding but after was tight as a drum and works perfectly, but the clutch is as floppy as a wet noodle and I just drain the reservoir when I try to bleed it. My bike is currently...

Other than sliding pins what would case brake pressure not to release in front brakes? I have FZR 6 pots with Nissin master... Good thing I was only doing 30 because my front brakes didn't release after tapping brake... I can't duplicate it. It sucked getting it off the road it wasn't fun...

Hi Guys- I'm running stock Tires on a 06'. According to my manual, for my weight, I should have 33 Front and 36 Rear. That's cold Temp. Any idea what that's equivalent in warm Temp? Also.. I was told that I could put as much as 21 PSI in my forks. Does that seem high? I thought i read...

Hi guys,I just put a new oil pressure gage on my max and when she is warmed up at the tach at a grand the pressure is 10psi and when I rev it to about 5 grand it about 65 psi .Do those sound like good numbers?.

Has anyone put any other oil pressure gage besides the cycle one off type that i have seen ?.

Well I need to fund more mods on the bike and since I am switching to a koso gauge I figured this isn't needed anymore, it's a cycle one off setup that includes a oil pressure gauge painted red with a red line (there is some scratches in the paint) a red raptor shift light and a custom bracket...

Just wondering what standard oil psi is on a vmax. Hot, cold, idle, and off idle. I'm ordering a oil psi guage kit from cycle one off and was just curious what kind of numbers I should see....Thanks in advance for any input

I have posted about Steve, the owner and Chief Wrench at this warehouse space due-west of the E-W runway for the FLL (Ft. Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport in Dania Beach FL, no kidding, that's its name!). He services whatever rolls-through the door, but his specialty is drag racers and...

What is the normal fuel pressure on a carbureted bike?

Just looking to buy an oil Psi. Gauge for my 86 Vmax. I just want to use the plug hole on the right side has any one used or knows where to get a sensor type that might read more acurate or a vendor that sells a complete kit with a mechanical guage that mounts close by I thought I read about one...

Ok I did a search and came up with nothing. So I installed a oil pressure gauge on my 1986 vmax. And here is what I am reading. At idle and warmed up I get 5 to 7 psi , 3k I get about 23 to 25 , and at 4k I get 35 to 40. If I get on it goes up to 65 or 70 psi. Does this sound right to you guys...

Should the pressure be checked with the bike on the centerstand or with the weight of the bike standing up on the wheels? I get about 5.X PSI in both forks with the centerstand supporting the bike (right around the min pressure according to the Haynes manual) and right around 10.X with the...

Just curious i just was staring at my bike and figured id check the air in shocks, they were both at about 0psi so i added some air and it doesnt take much to get them to take thats for sure i put them both at 11psi, but i also noticed when i went to put air in some water came out the nozzle is...

Hi guys, I've been reading a lot about the potential low oil pressure associated with that 'o' ring pushing out the siphon in the fuel pump. I've heard two stories on this: The first is that this is a result of not letting the bike warm up enought before riding it hard The other thing I...

I'm thinking about getting an oil pressure gauge but have ran into some questions. I'm looking to match my digital speedo so I was looking at the digital oil pressure gauges. 1. Has anyone on here mounted one if so where did you mount the sending unit? Everything I found so far has a...

Does anyone know of an automotive type oil pressure switch that is the same thread size and doesn't protrude out very far to screw into the oil pressure test plug. If I could find something compact enough I would use that to install an oil pressure light. thanks

The solid state pressure sensor vacuum tube (front left hand side of bike) is used to control ignition advance. Intake vacuum to the cylinders provides a variable voltage to the ignitor system that advances or retards the spark to the spark plugs. is your advance working? How do you test...
