Hi All, I took my car to Laguna Seca today and had a blast, however on my third session the oil pressure started climbing, the first session I was seeing 90-ish psi at 8k, on my third session I was seeing the pressure hit 100. Has anyone had a problem with rising oil pressure?

on a Hayabusa, the sender is ported to the main oil galley, after the filter. So if debris would clog the filter, it would cause the sensed pressure to drop. 
Remove the sender and put a direct reading gauge on it. See what it is actually reading. Or better yet, use a “T” , and compare the readings.

@graemed, my previous oil pressure sender wouldn't go past 55 PSI, I replaced it with one I found on Amazon and I'm guessing poor quality control on this one. Ordered a VDO sending unit. Can't skimp on oil pressure monitoring. Update: New oil pressure sensor did the trick, have to stick with VDO original stuff.
