bought a "new to me" 450 kodiak this past spring and wanting to install a set of gauges as i did on my arctic cat. volt-temp-oil press. found press. taps by oil filter on both a/c's(04 500-08 650) but can not find a press tap on the yamaha, any where by the oil filter at least, any suggestions? any one have a service manual that shows a plug to be removed for a oil press. reading?
thanks

 

i know on the 350 yamaha motors, there is a little plug at the top of the cylinder that take out after you change the oil, and if your pressure is normal, oil will seep out of that. when that happens, the plug is replaced and you go on your way. you might be able to attch a gauge there, but i am not sure.
