I've searched threads and have found minimal info regarding what kind of oil pressure KZ1000's run. I've got a guage on my 80 LTD and at idle (1000rpm), its running around 1 psi...ramps up in the 3-5psi range at about 3000 rpm. Bike guys i've talked to are surprised its so low...they're thinking it should be reading 20.
Do I have pump issues or is this normal?
