I don't know what the max oil pressure is in the uce however the super duper big block marine application expensive oil pressure switch that I installed with 50 years market history and experience sized working and started leaking oil even though it's rubber mounted, hose connected and doesn't see the engine vibs neither temps.

Interesting ! Where did you plug the hose bringing pressured oil to the switch ?
What did you do with the information ? lighting a red bulb or shutting down the ignition ?

The oil line is connected to the oil filter housing and the bulb to the kl15 that comes on when the ignition key is turned on.

Going to put in a switch with lesser market history.

Maybe you could install a passive oil pressure gauge ?
I have one like that in my Lotus.



There is no safety switch but at least you can check what your oil pump is doing.

Not today, a week or so ago. I had to replace the oe front pads (11400 miles). Like the other Brembo braked bikes I've owned (Ducati, KTM, CCM), EBC pads work so much better than Brembo's own. Only downside is that the damper-rod type (pogo stick) forks are now in more need of cartridge emulators than before. This will be attended to soon. Has anyone used emulators, any opinions?

[gizzo]

Agree, the EBC pads turn it into a good brake. I think it took me 4 sets of the other pads to work that out...

Have you seen all the guff about fork mods on the 650 CGT/INT forum? I thinks it's pretty much the same fork. I'm always intending to do the YSS emulator mod but never get around to it. I'll replace the springs at the same time i guess. The stock ones are too easy to use all the travel on. Same for the rears. Some of the 650 guys say the Hagons from H are a good and economical replacement.

I previously had an AEW silencer on my 535. Sold it for the exact same reason.

It's taken longer than it should've but I've fitted a "catalytic converter" style baffle to my AEW silencer. Sounds lovely, still has that deep tone and riding through built up areas at 2 - 2 1/2 thou' on a transient throttle it doesn't sound offensive at all. Still a bit louder than I'd prefer when the revs are up and the engines pulling but nowhere near as loud as "sans" baffle. Quite happy now.

How did you adapt it to the AEW silencer ?

[KC1961]

I removed the AEW end cap and tapped the baffle in large end first until the smaller end was flush with the AEW baffle then I run a ring of silicon sealer around between the new baffle and the AEW baffle before refitting the end cap. Now that I know I'm happy with this baffle I will see if I can come up with a better arrangement.
