Yes without any warning that your oil pump has failed...no idiot light... the engine seizing up could be a little late...   Logged     2009 Ultra Classic HD...2005 Silverado Road Star MY WEBSITE HOG HEAVEN Listen to the Road Star   The administrator has disabled public write access. #69653 Flashback (Moderator) Just the facts, Ma'am.. Moderator Posts: 9221 Re:Oil pressure gauge 4 Years, 2 Months ago   I like the idea too, but in reality, you would probably have to be watching the gauge at the time of failure to be able to shut down quick enough to prevent the engine from chewing itself up..I think an alarm of some kind would actually be a better deal..   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #69714 Curt (Moderator) Never to old to ride!

It could shut down the motor before we could react to the alarm. Of coruse if that happened going fast we might crash and screw up the motor anyway.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #69717 Flashback (Moderator) Just the facts, Ma'am..

Moderator Posts: 12511 Re:Oil pressure gauge 4 Years, 2 Months ago   Ya gotta love em. The HK's are going to be going up for sale soon. Those weigh a ton man they use heavy gauge metal in them. The chrome is much better on the HK's.   Logged     My Site Black Ice is Shiny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #69720 Flashback (Moderator) Just the facts, Ma'am..

I think that's a great idea.. not the part about crashing...Ive hit my kill switch by accident going about 50 or so, and it was not a problem other than the fear factor of what just went wrong, it took me about 10 seconds to realize what I had done.....   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
