noc231073 - 1/2/11 at 01:32 PM

just ready to start the hayabusa for the first time
one question ....i have removed the spark plug and turned the engine over to bring up the oil pressure...but i still dont seem to have oil coming to the cooler.....
how do i know when i have decent oil pressure if iam using the standard clocks????

surely when you start the engine the oil pump will engage, do you not have a gauge that tells you the oil pressure or at least a warning light to tell you that you havent?

Is the cooler circuit not on a thermostat?

i'd have thought so too, it may start to fill when it warms up, but would be better filling the thermostat before starting i'd think

don't you have a low pressure warning light on the clocks?

Got her started , took a bit of turning over to get the pressures up
