Oil temp R1
I have an oil temp gauge with sender and T peice. Where on the R1 1999/2000 model do I put this? Also with the water temp gauge where do I put the
sender bits?
Sorry I have very little know how here.
Cheers all.

On that engine you've really only got a couple of options for an accurate oil temp reading, you can either tap into the sump or use a sandwich
plate on the filter. I ended up using a sandwich plate with a small filter which had tap offs for oil temp and pressure as in pic below:

For the water temp I used an inline adapter you can just see above the carbs

Thanks
I was thinking sump but the plate idea is really good. Would this be an eBay job.

Yeah it was one of these:

I did have to file a fair bit off around the circumference to get it to fit.

Another question
I have an oil temp gauge to put on but what other gauge on oil is most important?

The other take off is for oil pressure, I would say along with water temp the most important gauges to have.

One more question
On the sandwich plate I had to file off so much I only have the inner rub er seal between he plate. Will that be OK.

Mine was the same, I,ve had it running for an hour or so with no issues. I cant see it being an issue as long as the 1 seal is in good shape.
