    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

No oil pressure in head!

I just finished reassembling the Gs's engine and gave it a few cranks to ensure I have oil pressure but I got nothing. Did I miss something? Any recommendations?:confused:
 
Did you remember to put oil in it?

Oil pump installed correctly?

How are you checking the pressure? Using a gauge or the idiot light?
 
Sorry, but once again, we have to ask ... WHAT BIKE ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT??? :eek:

I realize that you are new, so let me tell you in the words of bwringer:
"although the GSR hive-mind is rather omniscient and darn near omnipotent, we are not yet clairvoyant". :cool:

In other words, we know a lot and can probably help you, but you have to give us a clue. :pray:

Sorry to all that replied, I left out the important stuff. Here it is, my problem is on my 1980 Gs750e. Yes it has fresh oil and I have a 0-60 psig glycerin filled gauge installed at the head exhaust cam shaft oil gallery plug. Thanks in advance guys.
 
Those motors are notorious for poor oiling, Use the search function , as I know it has been covered on this site. I believe it involves shimming the oil pump or something
 
Pretty sure the pressure gauge should be installed by removing the pressure switch from the oil filter cover. I would take the pressure reading from there. The spec for that engine is 43-78 psi @ 3000 rpm.
 
You won't get much if any pressure at the head until the engine is running and the rpm's are up a little.
 
Thanks guys, I am going to continue with the reassembly process and verify oil pressure with the engine running. I will let you know what happens.:o
