RE: oil pressure reading
These engines dont require a high oil pressure. Like everyone said.....about 10PSI at idle.....and about 30PSI as your riding is sufficient and normal.

RE: oil pressure reading
Most all Harley motors are roller bearing motors,and you cannot build a lot of pressure on this style bottom end.10 and 30 lbs is right. \\;

For my 2002 FLHRI would the same numbers apply? \\; I'm thinking about getting the Arlen Ness Oil Pressure Gauge.
