I've got a Mini K. Goes quite well, but if I have a longer run at 100kph, when I then come to idle speed (it always idles quite slow, ie maybe 500RPM) the oil pressure drops to about 50 PSI where as it is normally 60-70 PSI at idle. What is the likely cause? It has no disturbing bearing noises.

Quite Normal as far as I know.

My last clubbie dropped abnormally though after a long run. Went from 60-70 to about 30.

Nothing wrong with that oil pressure after a high speed run.
