OIL TEMPERATURE GAUGE

[TALLBLOKE]

I had one of these fitted to my previous air-cooled bike, and found it to be nicely made, good looking IMO, and very useful during a run, or at the end to see how the temperature is compared to normal. Also helps when doing an oil change to get up to correct temp before draining

For anyone who isn't familiar with this product, it simply takes the place of the boring black oil filler cap. Dopes not need drilling/locating/brackets etc.

I have just ordered one from M&P direct (www.mandp.co.uk), a company I have had good dealings with for several years

If interested: On the site only the ZRX1100 is listed, but it's the same fitting for the 1200. When you click to buy, you have to select a bike and confusingly, the ZRX does not feature!! Just enter on the last model ZR1100 Zephy and it will register the ZRX1100 one correctly

Total cost £24.99 plus £4.95 post. A useful new toy in this Bling-Masters collection

Sorry, forgot to add a pic for those that are not familiar with these...
My last one was on the bike for 4.5 years and performed well

**NB some have built in dipstick. The ZRX model, does not.

Seen em before and wouldn't have one.

No one wants to nick the oe plug but someone had one of these gauges on this site and it got nicked. Oil got all over his leg and on the rear wheel.

Sorearse had his nicked too but he noticed it had gone, his worry was that some twat might have dropped stuff into the hole for "fun", fortunately it was ok but that's why I wouldn't want one.

On the homepage for MANDP, top left of page you can click and then enter a search word. Enter OIL TEMP GAUGE and the page comes up. Scroll halfway down and the ZRX1100 is listed

Got one of those, bought it from Delpel (Cyprus chapter now, but with a BMW Boxercup rep). Works well, haven't had it nicked yet but carry the OE cap just in case.

ive had one on for 2yrs now, got it from sorearese, works well in London on hot days just to keep your eye on things...particularly when the fans fused, the coolants evaporated, the warning lights on and there's no engine oil in the bike..its quite useful then

Always worried me that the rod bit could drop off into the clutch basket and trash everything.

I'm sure they're well made and won't do that

Can't have been Sorearse who had his nicked then unless you are owning up
