Anyone ever used one of these? RR oiltemperature gauge Honda VFR 800 F, VFR800, RC46 - eBay (item 350013607053 end time May-03-09 03:28:57 PDT) I am curious to see how accurate it is, and if it sticks out a lot.
First time I've seen one for VFR's. Which keads me to ask why the hell would someone put one on their VFR? They are liquid cooled and have oil coolers. I guess they are used for testing? BZ
I have often wondered how accurate they actually were....I would think that the reading would be somewhat anamolous, as it wouldn't actually be touching the oil.........
Agreed there - how can it give a good reading if it is not "in" the oil. Seems like a good setup would have to be in line, maybe around the oil cooler exit? Then you have to figure a resonable mount for the thing. -- I think I would want more of a smaller digital readout. You know oil temp is something I have wondered about - the 5th gen is a 2 row cooler and the 6th is a 3 row. (Veefer800canuck added a 3 row to his 5th) Things that make you go - hmmmm... For the moment - ignorance is bliss...:wink: MD
