    Hi Guy's

    so my new bike does not have any sort of temp gauge and i was thinking about installing a gauge and getting a sump plug sensor so i can get some sort of indications on temp.

    anyone done this?

    I have one of these temperature gauge's on my pit bike, i hooked it up through my oil drain plug as the bike is only oil cooled
    I like it because it's pretty small, 37mm across the face, it come's with the temperature sender unit etc
    I don't think you can go wrong for the price

    cold temp was the same as it was outside

    running temp was pretty close to the thermometer i had in the oil
