    I have a 2000 with a gauge, but don't have a stock oiling system.
    Hot idle, you could see as low as 5 psi, maybe lower.
    Mine will stay over 15psi hot idle, ~ 35psi at 3000 .

    Go to your local parts shop and buy a cheap ($40) mechanical car gauge and measure it.

    Yep as speedzer said oil pressure drops of when hot at idle low I’ve seen my evos  drop down 
    To  8 or so psi on a hot day in traffic but if you goggle e.r.t products in the states thay make a 
    Relief spring upgrade kits for harleys to tailor your oil pressure .   depending on what climate 
    Your in oil cooler helps too

    Volume is more important than pressure.

    Thanks Perthhog and Hoodeng.    Reason i need oil pressure at idle is for Turbo as one i have is bush as opposed to bearing.   dont want to chance it running without enough fluid.
