MOTO GUZZI V1000 G5 Workshop Manual page 65

When this indicator lights up during normal riding,
this means the oil pressure in the circuit has drop-
ped below the specified limit and in such a case the
engine should be slopped immediately and the oil
circuit checked over in order to find the cause for
the pressure drop.
Checking the 011 pressure solenoid
To determine the efficiency of this solenoid, set it
up on tool part N. 17 94 97 60 (23, fig. 82/ 6) with a
pressure gauge. Connect positive cable (+ ) of the
TESTER 10 lhe solenoid and ground negative cable
(-).
Then blow compressed air through the tool opening,
ensuring that the TESTER needle moves when the
pressure reaches a value of 0,15-0,35 kg / sqcm
14.7 CHECKING THE OIL PRESSURE WITH
THE ENGINE ON THE BYKE
Proceed as follows :
• Disconnect the
U H
crankcase cable from the
solenoid
• Screw the solenoid out of its housing in the
crankcase.
• In this housing, screw in the terminal of the gau-
ge cable.
• Start the engine and run it up to its normal ope-
rating temperature, checking if the pressure is as
specified.
To make sure the pressure is correct, it is well to
secure the gauge 10 the R/ H bumper and to ride
the byke for about 10 km (6 miles), observing if the
instrument dial is always at correct pressure.
Finally, remove the dial from the crankcase hole,
refit the solenoid and connect Its cable.
