Oil Pressure Drop At Launch

[sjg34]

I looked at my logs after some passes last night and while I am staging I am showing something like 70 psi but when I start to move the pressure will drop to 20 psi for a moment. Is this normal or something I would worry about?

If it's when you're launch maybe you should invest in a low profile oil pan with a swing pickup.

Or a baffle for the pan to keep the oil from inertia pulling the oil away from the pickup.

I thought about that but wasn't sure if it was enough by itself. I am even seeing erratic pressure readings in 2nd gear

If the front is coming up like it looks in your pic, that oil needs some help. Id say go with 2" pan and swivel. That way if it comes down hard you wont leave it on the track. Go to facebook psychobike and ask about Anthony's pan. 2" pan seems relatively the same with the oil window strangely but holds a little more oil. I just know 2" pan means 4 quarts. If you look, its like half the window when you do that.

Yep what he said I installed a koeing 2" with a swivel.

Well I guess I better start looking for a sidewinder

Yep they go hand in hand!!!!!

I have been trying to avoid getting one. They have never really grown on me and am worried about rh turns. I guess I like the motor more than turning right

Bad news for ya buds man turns to the right ain't happening once you put on a winder!!!

Look up a Ricks Custom Cycles pan.It has a removeable sump and a fixed pick up

I looked at the ricks pan a while ago and it was my first choice, but a found a deal on a McIntosh pan.

Here is a link to a thread showing a little info
