I live in Norway and want to get a 1.5" watertemp gauge for my Sportsman 700. Have checked the net for these but no one have them in europe. Where to buy??? Please remember that it has to be sent to norway so the price are important.

 

Here are the gauges I bought. I got them at Orilley's auto parts for $29.99.

 

Text This may be what you are looking for

 

i got mine at wal-mart, and if you go to their website, they probably send to anywhere for a descent rate. you can see mine on my pictures

 

So where/how are you getting oil pressure and temp on the 500?
Looking for info on mounting the sensors

 

here ya go.... courtesy of Sportsman70003:
Start out and cut the holes in your headlight pod. I used a 1 3/8" paddle bit then took a reamer tool and made it a little bigger and did some test fits till it was right. You probably could use a 1 1/2 paddle but I didn't have one at the time. After you get your gauges mounted take your temp sending unit out of the head. Make sure you have a pan to catch the antifreeze. Run the tenp sensor and the wire where you want and use some zip ties to tie in place. Screw the temp sensor that came with the gauge in the head, also you will have different size fittings that came with the kit . Also make sure you use some pipe tape on the treads of the sensor to keep from leaking. Next take the oil line a route it the same way you did the temp sensor wire. Take the allen plug next to the temp sensor out and you are ready to install the fittings in the block also use some pipe fitting tape to make sure it don't leak. Screw the line to the oil gauge. Zip tie all your wires and fill your radiator back up with the antifreeze that came out of the head. I tapped into the 12 acc plug for the lights in the gauges that way they come on when you turn on the switch. start the atv and check for leaks. hope this helps you out-PB500

 

Hey PB500 - Thank You! This will be tomorrow AM's project for sure! I cooked the snot out of mine pulling a sport quad 40 miles out of the forest. My overheat lamp does NOT work and this will give me some peace of mind going forward.

 

Need more info -
I pulled the plug from the front of the cylinder and that does not seem to have any pressure from it.
Did I plug into the wrong port or do I have a huge problem? The water temp is cool.

 

i don't know what plug you pulled, but if you have a manual that will prolly help you out...if you still can't find it, call your dealer/mechanic and ask them where the allen head plug is that is for the oil pressure, they will surely help you... hope this helps some, PB500

 

You are familiar with the colored light bulb caps? Found a blue one! In-between the two fittings for the oil line. Geesh.... Have pressure on the gauge now. Not much at idle and about 20 lbs. revved up. Is that simular to what overs are seeing? The shop maintenace manual says 20 psi at 5500. It also says the fan should start at 180 degrees but I'm seeing about 193 on the gauge. It does not seem to go down to 150 before kicking out - I'm seeing the same 193'ish for fan off temp. To bad these gauges are calibrated for higher pressure. Would be nice to see something at idle.

This has already been a big help as the fan was not kicking in and the coolant was climbing into the 200's when I noticed it and started checking electrical connections. Found one that was intermittent, pulled it apart and reseated the connector - seems to be good so far. The water gauge will be a good indicator if that occurs again.

Thanks for the info and instructions! I wasted a lot of time due to the obstructed oil line problem but I'm already glad I installed the gauges.
