Hey guys, I'm looking into putting a oil and water temperature gauge on my BAJA and I was wondering if anybody has these on their quads and if so where did you mount them. Also where do you plug it in for it to send the water. I will use the drain plug on the oil tank for oil. If anybody has gauges like this and wouldn't mind, I would love to see pic's of them mounted. You could email them to me at, raider_boy49@hotmail.com

 

Thanks Mark, also where did you run the line from for the heatseeker.

 

Digital dual guages there kind of pricy and I'm not sure how readable they would be when riding but I think you could put the guage in the dash between the switch and the tach
More guages there's some more digitals here but at the bottom of the page there is a unit that slices into the radiator hose
If using sending unit type guages (as opposed to the unit you splice into the hose) I think you could remove the stock sender and find a correct size and thread brass plug then drill and tap it to whatever you need, thats assuming that the new sender is a different size/thread it may be the same

 

Here is a page that seems to have great prices on common gauges but I am not sure which one would be an inline gauge.

I'm ordering the ESR posted above my Marky today. Simplicity, added cooling of the aluminum housing, and ease of seeing it - just a glance down on the right. It has a range to 250 degrees. The DS thermostat opens around 185, but the fan doesn't actually come on until 221 - and back off at 200. A gauge with a range over 220 will be able to notify you of a cooling problem (like a dead fan) prior to the red light, which comes on at 239 degrees. And if the red light does come on, you can quickly look at the gauge to identify whether or not it truly is a cooling problem. If the temp is low, the red light is on for lack of oil pressure (or the temp switch is faulty).

 

Yeah. Hightower, I believe I will be ordering that very gauge also.
