Thanks Tod. Thinking about it more and more, I'm thinking that consistency is what I should be after, and using the gauge as a point of reference, not truly an absolute measurement. I am going to take it out, warm it up for a nice ride (close to home) and see if it is still low. Then I'm going to up the idle a bit and see how it goes. I will also be checking my oil level now that it has sat for a couple days. I would REALLY worry if it DIDN'T shoot up when I blipped the throttle.
You know I have been thinking. Asthetically I actualy prefer the location down on the motor next to the temp gauge, looks cool. But functionally having it up on the bars, especially if you are worried about pressure to begin with, is nice.
