After watching some in car videos of me at loton park on Sunday I noticed my honda blackbird engine drops oil pressure on the right handers
It's got a baffled/shortened sump and an acusump it's also slightly over filled.
I checked and recharged the acusump the day before and I know the acusump is fitted correctly. The original bike oil pressure light doesn't come on.
The gauge normally reads between 60-80 on the rest of the run but drops as low as 20-25 in these right corners.
I'm confused why the acusump doesn't keep the pressure up.
My gauge and oil light are both where the original light pressure switch is fitted.
Don't see where I've gone wrong

Not completely (or at all) familiar with Accusumps but I thought the presure had to drop before the accusump compensated. Maybe thats what you see.

I think as it's tapped into an oil way, when the pump is working as normal it pumps oil around the engine as it should and also into the accusump where it stores oil like a balloon, but when the oil pump stops pumping this makes the accusump push the oil back in to the engine. But mine seems to not be helping at all.

Could it be that the Accusump is working, but on long corners running out of pressure and you see it drop then; In other words is it big enough.

Or it could be a restriction in the valve; I've heard of issues with the electric valve not working properly if you have one of them.
