Wasn’t someone offering a system some months ago?

Hi Steve . I have one of yours bought ages ago but only just fitted it . Banjo fitted on oil feed to rockers as instructed, but doesn't work . Bulb remains lit. Tried a second switch from Andover and that's the same. Other side of bulb to a switched live. Is there something I'm missing ? Regards Graham

Hi Peter. It did cross my mind. It's a low mileage bike at 11k and had an incident.when the pipe feeding RH rockers momentarily parted the union with spectacular results so appeared high pressure but is there a way to check it? FYI bike has a cnw crankcase breather  on to relieve crankcase pressure. Would that  make any difference? I
know thats after the oil feed but just a thought. Is it time to get the oil pump checked at that mileage ?  D

I've used these oil pressure switches on several bikes over the years.  A great idea to use them.

A word of caution, the smaller ones use one of three different sizes of thread.

1/8" BSP 28TPI,    1/8" NPT 27 TPI,  M10 x 1 25.4 TPI.

Visually they look to be the same, measuring the outside diameter might not be conclusive in separating the imperial from the metric.  Check with a thread gauge.   The heavy handed will get the BSP and NPT to screw together..........

Don Pender also sells a take off electrical sensor ( from timing cover outlet to rockers ) which triggers an indicator light for low pressure warning. $30.

Get a long oil switch, grind the shaft down and retap a thread, screws directly into any of the three banjo bolt positions.DIY option amend a long oil switch to screw directly into any banjo position.

Just a thought, but do you know if the rubber seals been replaced recently as they can harden after time. ?

As per my previous posting I've fitted the oil switch to the r/h top banjo on the head and it works as intended.

I also decided to make a seperate mounting bracket for the warning lamp as pictured, it is held tightly in place by the fork top nut and includes two led's as a back up.
