5bikes Posted January 17, 2009 Share #1 Posted January 17, 2009 I've added a AMP meter, Oil Pressure, vacuum gauge, compass, altimeter and will be adding a oil temp gauge soon. Has anyone added a Oil Pressure Gauge? Mine reads: At startup about 2k rpm, over 60 psi. (Could be over 70 but no graduations over 60) Bypass seems to be working. At 3000 RPM hot 20 psi At 4000 RPM hot 30 psi At Idle hot 5-8 psi Does anyone have a feel if these are about right? Yamaha Service Manual does not specify. (I soon will need a a preflight checklist to drive my Venture) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redneck Posted January 18, 2009 Share #2 Posted January 18, 2009 Those are normal pressures for these engines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5bikes Posted January 23, 2009 Author Share #4 Posted January 23, 2009 Got oil temp gauge installed today. Left to right: Altimeter, oil temp, vacuum, on dash thermometer, compass on windshield, then amp meter and oil pressure. On the dash, 6 LEDs for radio on (orange), aux. lights on (green), head lights on (blue), manual fan switch (red) and 2 spares. And switches for the brake lights to flash the tailgators, and to turn on the voltage sensing relay for the radio and aux lights Preflight: Ignore all until they are hot, charged up, back to normal, under the clouds, read right to left, bottom to top, not at night, or at idle. Roger, A O K for takeoff!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
