Oil pressure bit high on my Triumph

Im using my Herald 1200 as my daily for this week and I noticed today that the oil pressure is quite high suddenly and was hovering between 70-85 any idea as to why its happening

An oil pressure relief valve problem will usually reveal itself in a low oil pressure reading on the gauge, not a high one. My E-type suddenly dropped from 50 psi to 40 psi until we cleaned the valve. Now we are back to a healthy 50 psi reading. Have you taken a wet gauge reading. If so I suggest you find someone to do so to find the root of your problem becaue it could possibly be the gauge or sender. High pressure can cause pipes and joints to blow; My XKSS will, on start-up in the morning, go way past 100 psi over 2,500 so i am forced to warm the engine up gently before driving. Then I run at 65 psi all day long.

I did not warm up this morning as I was late perhaps that triggered it?

Thank you all for the advice given

I have spoken to Derek of Autopride who services my Herald and will visit him soon
