Oil Pressure Measurement

Oil Pressure Measurement

• Remove the right lower fairing (see Lower Fairing Removal in the Frame chapter).
• Remove the oil passage plug [A].

• Attach the adapter [A] and gauge [B] to the plug hole.

Special Tools -
 Oil Pressure Gauge, 10 kgf/cm²: 57001-164
 Oil Pressure Gauge Adapter, PT3/8: 57001 -1233

• Start the engine and warm up the engine.
• Run the engine at the specified speed, and read the oil pressure gauge.

  If the oil pressure is much lower than the standard, check the oil pump, relief valve, and/or crankshaft bearing insert wear immediately.

  If the reading is much higher than the standard, check the oil passages for clogging.

Oil Pressure
 Standard: 255 - 304 kPa (2.6 - 3.1 kgf/cm², 37 - 44 psi) at 4 000 r/min (rpm), oil temperature 50ºC (122ºF)

• Stop the engine.
• Remove the oil pressure gauge and adapter.

WARNING Take care against burns form hot engine oil that will drain through the oil passage when the gauge adapter is removed.

• Apply a non-permanent locking agent to the oil passage plug, and tighten it.

  Torque - Oil Passage Plug: 20 N*m (2.0 kgf*m, 15 ft*lb)
