RE: Oil PSI
The dealer can do a test at the oil pressure sensor pick up. My dealer checked mine once when my light started blinkingon at idle and totally missed the problem (another story). The sensors and gauges can read a little differently. My current 06 Ultra consistently runs slightly higher than my 05 Classic did with the original pump and a warranty replacement. Bottom line, Harleys don't need a lot of pressure. If there's a problem, you'll hear the lifters making noise right away. Sounds awful, but surprisingly doesn't do any damage if you shut it down right away and call for a tow.
