"oilpressure Triumph Speedtwin "54"


          

Dear friends,

Sorry for my poor Englisch (í'm a Dutch BSA and Triumph rider) but i have a question; my speedtwin loses oilpresurre when hot. If i start her the presurre rises up to 60/70 psi before the relaese valve start working. When hot during driving the presurre is about 15-20 psi. At idling speed it almost drops till 0 psi. The engine sounds well and runs beautifull; a first kick starter. I have fitted a new plunjerpump and a releasevalve from SRM engineering. I use SEA 40 in the summer. Is this normal??

Kind regards,
Jacques Ruijssenaars
