2003 R1: Oil Pressure

Hi all.

What sort of oil pressure you guys are reading?

After starting to warm up mine goes down under 20 psi (like 17 or so).... It didn't warmed up completly as I have water escaping from the thermostat....
Readings through DD2 Lite using a sandwich plate under the oil filter.
Cheers,
Joao

Absolutely fine, mine runs......

Hot idle: ~10-12psi
Hot at revs (4-5k minimum): ~50spi

Joao

Yeh it will do until the oil is at 70-80c or more, once up to full running temp you'll probably see a bit lower than that.
