endofitall9 Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 just wondering about this gauge..if anyone runs it and also would this go between the water pump and the rad. and still give a good reading? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BansheeKid15 Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 The most accurate reading would be from the top of the head to the top of the radiator. This is the coolant that is coming out of the motor, so its going to give you the most accurate reading. i bought a CRJ one, it comes with a aluminum sensor that you splice into the line, and then a little LCD screen that you mount on the bars. I spent the extra 20 bucks so i can see it at all times. heres the link. Its a good product... not that the esr one isnt http://www.crjperformance.com/tega.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
endofitall9 Posted February 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 thats trick but I dont run 7/8ths bars. thats why I'm leaning toward the esr i belive i could make it work on the tube coming from the head...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lepew Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 I run ESR gauges. Put it on the hose leaving the head. Once you ride a couple of times with the gauge you will hardly look at it except when warming it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooker82 Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 If you get the ESR gague put it in the radiator hose going from the head to the top of the radiator. You splice it in that hose just right so you can see the gauge through on of the vent holes of the gas tank cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooker82 Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Here is the temp gauge I run. It is an electric one that has the sensor mounted in the top radiator hose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
endofitall9 Posted February 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 damn Jbooker that is nifty how it mounts on your clamps like that..where you pick that up and how much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooker82 Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 I got the gauge from these guys. They are out of Lapeer, MI so I am sure Dajoger knows them or at least heard about them. JT Temperature Gauge They have 3 different styles. I got the Electric LED Back Light gauge. If you get one Get an electric one. There is a couple of different reasons. #1. If you have to take off the gauge or what ever you mount the gauge in your going to have to drain the coolant with the Mechanical gauge. With the Electrical one you just Unplug the connector. #2 I went through 3 mechanical gauges. (Not from these guys. Just regular automotive gauges) The vibration kills them They will last you a couple of months at best. For the mounting I just used a regular universal bracket that most gauges come with. You know that little loop shaped bracket that you use to mount a guague under the dash of your car. Straighten it out and notch the corners off so it will slip inbetween the bar clamp bolts. Then just sandwich it between bar clamp and steering stem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
