Oil lamp light flikering

I said this in some other post around here, but after I had installed the Baisley spring and buttoned it all back up, changed the filter and refilled the oil (went to Mob 1 VTwin 20W-50 at that time), my oil pressure seemed high for a few thousand miles. I don't know if it takes a bit of working to get that spring in its "normal" working range or not. Something anyway.

Now, when the engine is first started, my pressure is at around 32-34 psi at idle, and about 55 or so at highway speed/rpms. Once the oil/engine warms up (gauge says anything from 180-210 degF depending on environmental conditions), the pressure is about 32-38 psi at highway speed/rpms and about 10-12 psi at idle. I am very happy with this.

TQ
