its just to warn you of a sudden loss of oil pressure! why would you not want it? even if you have an oil pressure guage fitted you dont ride along stairing at it! i have a pressure guage on my t160 i also have the standard oil pressure light its a good setup , just about every car has a low oil pressure warning light it works wellnortonspeed said:madass140 said:I think 4-5 Lb is pretty close to the mark, I think thats pretty much standard on most auto oil pressure switches.
I think if it was 15-20lb then you would probably not be game to ride your bike.
Really? 15-20lb is much closer to the point you should start worrying about your oil pressure. If the pressure has dropped to a permanent 4-5lb something is definitely wrong way before you got informed by your warning light. My point is that an oil pressure switch doesn't say much (just that there is 4-5lb oil pressure and hopefully more!) so if you want usefull oil pressure information the only right thing to do is fit an oil pressure gauge :!:
