I figured I'd start a new thread rather than reply in the old one... this oughta get more attention.
They tested my oil pressure today, but not after I had to tell 'em to stick the quad up their ass, storm out, and call Honda Customer Service. That call did nothing, actually. I had to call the GM back and bitch at him for fifteen minutes first. Man these guys are piece of work!! They expected me to sign a form saying I'd pay them an hour's labor for each of the four items I wanted them to look at, in case Honda wouldn't cover it. That's just lame no matter how you look at it. I refused.
Anyway... get this shit. They hooked up their guage, and said starting at 3000 RPM, the oil pressure pegged their guage, which maxxes out at 160 psi, and stays there to 5000 RPM. This happened when they tested the line pressure, as well as the pressure in each gear.
Spec in the service manual says 114 psi. It doesn't say "at least" 114 psi. It doesn't say 114 psi +/- anything. It just says 114 psi. So what the hell does 160+ psi mean????
They have a call into their district service rep to see what the deal is, but who knows when I'll hear back.
They swear that they warmed the machine up properly first. I didn't get to see any of this because they won't let anybody anywhere near the service area.
I dunno what to do. This is so frustrating, I could scream!
