Oil Pressure

How quick should you see the oil pressure guage go up in a 2009 SEUC? Also what should it be at idle?

You should see oil pressure almost immediatley, as far as what it should be... that all depends on temperature of scoot (engine) cold mine is 30 psi or just above @ idle, when my oil temp is 230 or so (operating temperature) 10 psi maybe.... @ idle.

Most people talk temperature and pressures at (normal operating).

That is how my bike is and I consider it normal.

I like oil pressure also but these things run low pressure unless you have a bypass shim and a Feuling oil pump.
You guys could have never run an old 2stroke Detroit that if the gauge moved at all off the peg at idle was considered "normal".  Didn't carry over 40 under load.    :)

Agreed, the 110's are much lower then I am used too. But the pressures I described seem normal, or have been the norm for me since my purchase.
Lower then my last (103) and all I do is keep an eye on the norms for the bike I a running.

Hey Doc, have you figured out how to pack the oil coolers in dry ice yet? :)

Jim    Oil temps remain on the decline as weather gets cooler and more mileage gets on the bike. Yesterday the hottest mine receached was 243*. Two up riding all day.
