Title: Thoughts on the oil pump Post by SavageMan99 on 07/27/16 at 15:06:45 Since oil flow seams to be an issue, it got me wondering. Could the pump be changed over to a chain drive and thus be spun faster? There's not a lot of resistance to an oil pump, sobthe drive chain need not be too heavy. A smaller driven gear, larger drive gear would also yeild the same result. |

Title: Re: Thoughts on the oil pump Post by verslagen1 on 07/27/16 at 15:20:12 Oil flow is only an issue at idle, plenty of flow/pressure at speed. 5 psi at 1000/1200 rpm 50 psi at 4000 rpm and straight gears is more efficient than a chain drive. what we need is a variable speed drive. :-? or adjust the idle speed correctly. |

Title: Re: Thoughts on the oil pump Post by JPSavage on 07/29/16 at 07:12:49 I have been trying to crack that idle speed code using sound, rolling throttle speed in 1st. Can't seem to get it perfect and lose sleep about the thought of idle being too slow. :-/ |

Title: Re: Thoughts on the oil pump Post by Armen on 07/29/16 at 09:00:16 Buy a cheap electronic tach. They'll sell them to almost anyone ::) |

Title: Re: Thoughts on the oil pump Post by JPSavage on 07/29/16 at 09:13:16 Do you have one in mind? If it's gonna stay on the bike, it should be small. Please send a link |

Title: Re: Thoughts on the oil pump Post by Dave on 07/29/16 at 09:39:05 These are small, and easy to mount and hook up. The only negative for me is the battery is not replaceable and only lasts 5 years. http://www.trailtech.net/digital-gauges/tto/surface-mount/tach-hour |

Title: Re: Thoughts on the oil pump Post by JPSavage on 07/29/16 at 09:48:25 Dave, that looks great! |

Title: Re: Thoughts on the oil pump Post by Dave on 07/29/16 at 09:56:40 I am tempted to get one that is a temperature gauge.....not because I need one - but I just get a bit curious at times. (As long as I keep wearing an armored jacket.....I am sure the bike can handle more heat than I can take). http://www.trailtech.net/digital-gauges/tto/surface-mount/temperature |

Title: Re: Thoughts on the oil pump Post by JPSavage on 07/29/16 at 10:01:19 Dave, it would be nice if they had one unit that did both! I wouldn't even know which one to order for temp. haha |

Title: Re: Thoughts on the oil pump Post by Dave on 07/29/16 at 10:05:50 I had their TrailTech Vapor speedometer on my bike for a couple years. It did have a Tach and Temperature gauge....along with clock, reset ODO, Total Time, and an outdoor Temperature gauge that was not very accurate. It is not possible to use the sensor on our spark plug, as it is recessed too deep. The sensor for the spark plug does fit on the head stud however, and that is a great place to take a temperature reading. |

Title: Re: Thoughts on the oil pump Post by JPSavage on 07/29/16 at 10:10:18 Without laughing too hard, can you show me a pic of this head stud? Warning: I'm more of a woodworking guy than a mechanic, so I can figure it out w/ enough instructions! |

Title: Re: Thoughts on the oil pump Post by Dave on 07/29/16 at 10:15:44 In this photo.....the shiny acorn nut on the right side (down inside the square looking hole) is the rear head stud - this is where I mounted the sensor when I had the Vapor speedometer. You will have to remove the fuel tank and the chrome head cap cover to access this area. |

Title: Re: Thoughts on the oil pump Post by JPSavage on 07/29/16 at 10:26:01 Son of a..... Two weeks ago, I installed a Verslagen head plug. I would have done it then... Let me ask. Does the tach only work off the spark plug boot? http://www.trailtech.net/digital-gauges/tto/surface-mount/tach-hour/tto-tach-hour-meter-black |

Title: Re: Thoughts on the oil pump Post by Dave on 07/29/16 at 10:37:41 The tach sensor wire just wraps around the spark plug wire a few times. |
|
Title: Re: Thoughts on the oil pump Post by JPSavage on 07/29/16 at 10:49:43 Awesome. I just got a bit confused of whether that worked based on the temp gauge post that you had. Actually, Dave, I sent you a pm about an unrelated topic. |
