Re: oil pressure

Pull the front cover and port the relief hole. There's a VFAQ on it somewhere.

Re: oil pressure

For a dsm the releif valve is in the oil filter housing. Why do you need to lower it?

Re: oil pressure

Re: oil pressure

What are the min and max of the oil guage?
I believe mine goes from 0-12 bar, and when i get on it, its usually around 9-10 bar.

Re: oil pressure

Isn't one bar 14.5 psi? so 10 bars is 145 psi? 100 seems pretty low for a max on the guage.
