Trophy 900 Triple - Fitting Oil pressure gauge

Had a quick look at the Haynes manual which suggests that oil pressure checks need a special adapter and should be carried out with a warmed up engine - assuming I read it correctly! So that is not really much help.
I would think that spinning the engine over with the oil pressure warning light connected properly would tell you if oil pressure is sufficient. I do understand why you would like to have an actual pressure reading though after a strip down and rebuild. Peace of mind is a wonderful thing!

 

Hi Boothy,
Most of the initial wear occurs in the engine parts furtherest from the oil pump, this would be the valve's in the cylinder head ! So turn the motor over without the cam cover on, after lubricating the cams and buckets etc by hand, if oil takes more than 3 or so seconds to flow to the top stop cranking.

 

When we rebuilt our race motors we always primed the oil pump before the bike was started making sure minimum time for full oil circulation. Clive Wood can tell you more how he did this

Did you plenty of oil on the cams etc. as well?
