Default High Oil Pressure w/Oil Cooler

Is this normal....

I just added the Harley Premium Oil Cooler to my 07 Ultra and fired the bike up to check for leaks. The oil pressure showed around 32. After warming up (195 degrees) on idle, the pressure dropped to around 20ish. I am using Mobile 1 V-Twin 20-50 oil.

Is this normal...

I remember that my bike used to run around 5ish once warmed up at idle and the pressure would increase with throttle. I don't remember what the pressure was with a cold engine; it's been all winter.

I have no leaks and the oil cooler lines and oil cooler gets warm, so I know it's working. I next want to go for a test ride, but am curious about the oil pressure.

Anybody??

Thanks,

Scott

I don't think you have anything to worry about. I noticed the oil pressure ran a touch high when I put the cooler on mine...and it wasn't until I got it out and rode for a while that I noticed that it would drop down to the 10 area while stopped and idling. I think you will be fine.
