Thats possible and also like you said maybe switch gauges again to make sure you are reading right. I am fairly sure mine is correct or very close since Wendy and I read the same pressure. We have Triumph oil in at the moment too , if you have something thinner in that could be the difference too. As you say I would be much more concerned if the pressure didn't jump up right away when you twist the throttle.

I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.
