Sounds like he put an external pressure gage in the oil line and checked the pressures.

Maybe something like this:-

I still don't understand... Did the SA models have an oil pressure "gauge", or did he just install an aftermarket inline gauge of some kind?

I dunno. I doubt there is a factory metric gauge so most likely an aftermarket gauge marked in SI Bar; could also be a language barrier if Steve's not a native English speaker.

From his post it looks like he has or had the pump out on the bench. If the engine is shagged too then changing the oil pump won't really help but I suppose it is easier to try another pump and check the oil pressure. At least he'll have a good oil pump if it doesn't work and the engine has to be rebuilt or scrapped.

Bug, he's in South Africa so 2 Bar is ~ 30 PSI, not a good max oil pressure reading.

bars

i put a presure gage in bars to check the pressure
the indicater light will onley work when the pressure is bellow the rating of the switch
thank
you

i was getting 1-2 bar pessure

I'm a bit lost on this one... There are no "Bars" on the oil pressure light. Only on or off. The XJ has an oil LEVEL indicator, and no pressure indicator. Which are we talking about here?

[crazy steve]

He's in SA, so the shipping may be a bit steep....

To answer one question, no, there isn't a pump off another size/model bike that will work. But a oil pump off any year XS11 or XJ11 will, so that gives you some choices.

I still have the oil pump from my wrecked bike. Engine ran great and had 29k miles on it. If your interested, PM me.

[steveb]

why

i was getting 1-2 bar pessure and then i stiped them and found some scaw markes around the barrel and in the housing wich will drop the pressure

thanks

as long as member andreashweiss is here, you should be able to get almost any part. Look in parts for sale and message him.

Welcome to the forum, Steve!

The oil pumps are usually pretty stable and reliable, what are you hearing that makes you believe there might be a problem with the oil pressure?
