Got this gauge off ebay,They are £15 and fit into the standard instrument holder with a couple of o rings.Comes with new sensor that has the same thread size as standard, just need to connect to a positive and earth and the 2 wires from the supplied sensor.

just drain the coolant to a point approximately mid barrel height.
you can just remove the original sensor from the back of the head between the barrel (only required fuel tank removal)
you will need some PTFE (roll white thread sealing tape less than $1) to wrap around the threads of the new sensor maybe 6-12 turns and install
tape original wire connector back along harness out of the way with some insulating tape.
REMEMBER to top up and burp your coolant since the water level has gone below the height of your thermostat

Just a quickie, if you want the most power and preformance from the engine the temperature should be around 60 C. The trouble is the standard rad isn't really up to the job on a standard engine yet alone a tuned jobbie so you need to get an uprated rad to get enough cooling to keep the engine at its best temp.

Yep some people fit RGV rads other use copies of the F3 kit rad or get an uprated one from Sean at the tuning works.SHimmer45 wrote:so this where fitting a larger rad is a good idea to a standard bike?
