• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Oil pressure test port

New member
I have been trying to locate the test port but not having much luck.
Put it down to old age/poor eyes or ignorance. Would someone point
me in the right direction. Front, back, side or top.

Thanks in advance!!

On the 1330, it looks like there is an oil pressure test port on the front of the engine.

Not to blow you off and say search, I do know there is a topic buried here somewhere that discussed this and I offered some info similar to above. That topic involved a person wanting to install an oil pressure gauge.

There may be more info there if needed. All the best and have fun.

As a word of caution, if you are installing an oil pressure gauge or similar item, be very much aware in regards to the items installed and possible melting based on the heat and proximity to exhaust. The last thing a person would need is to install a really cool oil pressure gauge, then while riding along see it go to zero and trash the engine from a burst plastic component or hose.

Thanks for the heads up. Most of the time I wind up making the port
attachments because of the mm size and getting them adapted to
American brass threads. I learned this the hard way when I melted
a nylon tube. I was lucky and caught it before damage was done.
