Post Normal Oil pressure guage reading

What is the normal oil pressure reading?

for me...

When cold: 5 BAR

Idle: between 1 and 2

crusing: 4.5 BAR

What's yours and what's normal?

That is about normal.
Mine is 5+ when cold.
about 4.5 when warm and cruising and about 3 at idle but this is because my idle is set high due to the cam I am running.

Your readings are normal, with the enginr at operating temp. you should see between 10 and 15 psi. per 1000 rpm.
