Where is the best spot on the engine to put a 1/8 line to run an oil pressure gauge?
I really am not a fan of idiot lights.
Thanks, Robert

yea it's the 750F2. Is it that chrome bolt that leaks on my bike?

Right hand side just above the points cover.

Thanks. Off to find adapters, I have an oil gauge somewhere in the shop.

They look like this when installed.

I like the added security in knowing at a glance if I really blew a motor

and only 65$ cool.

If you want to run an 1/8 line, go into the pressure switch under the cam chain adjuster.

Look in the link at the bottom of my posts, look at the pic with just the bike, you can see the pressure guage next to the rev counter (tacho).

Our Australian forum brother Terry sells them ready to bolt on for anyone reading this without the gauge lying around the shop or for those with the gauge who don't want to spend a few days finding the correct fittings.

I like mine.

Right-o Seaweb11

Support the poor australian endurance race project

Always love that bike of yours sam. I may put a gauge up there like you have...on the frankenbike.

We bought the complete kit from Bartell Engineering in Northern Ireland, can't recall the cost as we bought quite a lot from him.

Thanks Brother.

Finally broke down and made one.

can they be installed on a 500? or in a remote position, like inside a windscreen or a dash area?

I have found the only problems with mounting up on the dash with a mechanical one is that the line does not live too long. I am sure there are better braided lines you can get, but I was thinking of using an electronic gauge. These should be dead easy to set up.

What is a normal oil pressure? 100lb or 60lb gauge?

Einyodeler · « **Reply #20 on:** January 11, 2007, 06:38:49 PM »

For these motors you`ll need a 100psi gauge.
