Water Temperature Gauge

[CB4ME]

Has anyone installed a water temperature gauge on their NC700/750?

I ran across this item on the internet:

Any thoughts?

From the picture, it appears that it needs to be attached under a spark plug, so it's likely a cylinder head gauge and not a water temp unit

The picture does show the spark plug option. However the listing says

Display engine, water or air temperature up to 500 deg. F
Sensor options for all standard radiator hoses, oil lines and spark plugs

I'll do some more research.

 

[L.B.S.]

There are different options of sensors inc water as seen here-

RIP duk2n....

He did this on his bike and it was as nicely done as most anyone would want. I searched under 'coolant temp' and found his original thread from years back but the pics have been removed and the links broken. It was a good looking modification.

The sending unit was installed in the upper right side radiator hose IIRC.

I have this Super Slim Style - Thermometer (°F) - Koso North America installed on my NC. Simple install. Cut upper rad hose and put sender in. Then wire hot and negative and enjoy.

Missing something here. Water temp is pretty constant controlled by thermostat. Gage shows impact of warming up bike or of a bad thermostat. What are we trying to learn with water temp gage? What am I missing?

If you have to ask, you wouldn't understand. . . .

Some people just like to monitor as much telemetry as possible. And like any other farkle...if it makes you happy then who's to judge?

I am with you..........likely all the gadgets, sensors, hoses, wiring and crap hanging on the bike are more likely to cause a problem than the actual engine having a cooling or oiling problem.

I farkles. Does anyone have a lead on G-force meters, lean bank indicators, brake temperature sensors, hot-girl-ahead early warning indicators, etc?
