Where to mount oil temp gauge etc?
I mounted an oil temperature on my FJ. It’s a meter with a little dipstick, to be placed in stead of the oil filler cap. The temp is measured by the oil spraying off the clutch. On normal riding it showing 80 degrees Celsius, and 100 degrees when I’m having fun. I consider that’s ca. 5-10 degrees lower that the actual temp because the meter is cooled by air, and because the temp is inside the bike a little higher. I use it mainly to see if the temp is high enough to “Go for it…..” I ordered the meter by “Hein Gericke”. It’s original an German company but has a few shops in Holland. When I bought my FJ12, the previous owner had put the an oil temp gauge on the right side of the inner fairing panel and had an oil pressure gauge which screwed into the bottom of the engine case somewhere. By the time I got it, though, the face of the pressure gauge had become opaque and the temp gauge was erratic. Oh well. On the helpful side, I do have a 1994 Lockhart catalogue which lists a digital oil
