I fitted an oil pressure gauge to one of my bikes (not an AMC machine). It's a 650 twin running 20W50 mineral oil and has a pressure relief valve fitted. Cold start up pressure is 70 psi, hot running pressure is 65 psi and it shows 40 psi at tick-over when hot.

That is a very neat installation - and the figures sound reassuring compared with what others have reported for their AMC twins. Cheers. Bruce.

In your opinion, the felt filter missing could lower the oil pressure? In my bike there is a spring where should be the filter...
