I just bought a new to me Electra Glide. Its an 04 and had 18k for milage. I bought it from a friend who had only owned the bike for about 6 months so I don't really know the history on it, but it runs great. I think its had some motor work done, but at least pipes and air cleaner. It has a engine temperature gauge installed in place of the original air temp gauge. My question is about the oil pressure. When I first fire up the motorcycle, the oil pressure is just about at 30 pounds per the factory gauge at idle. When I ride about 20 miles and let the bike ride idle, the pressure on the gauge only shows about 5 to maybe 10 pounds. The engine temp gets to around 220 and its been stupid hot here, last ride it was 99 when I left and cooled to 90 as I returned. I am in Northern California and it's forecasted to be between 103 to 111 for the next seven days. (I hate the summers here)
The bike had a recent oil change in all three holes with Mobil 1 20-50. My question is, should I worry about this? Is the pressure too low?
I got lots of other questions too, but this it my main one. I am interested in what oil filter is best for my bike and what oil I should run.
Thanks,
Travis
