Anyone install a volt gauge? Wondering where you hook it up..directly to battery or easiest access? I hooked mine up through feed in lines but I'm getting lower readings compared to a volt meter off the battery.
Ok
So I know I screwed the pooch on getting this to work last time but....
When first you dont succeed, try try try try try again.
Here are some pics.
Got it all sorted out, just need to get it installed and guess what????
Our OEM fuel sender for the light and the pump will STILL WORK.
I am...
Hi all:
Any of you know of the best place to buy a new feeler gauge set for checking valve clearances?
I'm in a pickle because I'm checking clearances on my 1986 FZX700. It's an inline 4, and its got 5 valves per cylinder! (That's right, it's a 20 valve engine!)
The middle valve of each...
Take a look at this picture I just snapped of the top of my oil pressure gauge. There's a small rubber plug on top that has a pin hole crack in it and I've noticed twice now a clear oil like liquid puddling on top of the gauge. I guess its pretty obvious that its leaking the fluid that fills the...
Ok now that I have your attention here is what I am working on
As you can see from the pic the stock fuel sender is on the right.
The one I want to use is on the left.
I have 2 options.
1. Modify the tank to accept the bigger base
2. Cut and weld the new sender to the OEM base and rewire...
Is there anyone that can do the 3 gauge mod similar to the one Lankee did? I am thinking of having water temp/ volts/ oil pressure in the faux tank bezel with just the oil warning light and a switch for heated grips.
I want to move the tach plus highbeam/ neutral/ fuel/ turnsignal to a top gauge...
Post pics here of your aftermarket/custom gauge clusters and setups. Be interesting to see the variations out there and give folks ideas of what can be done.
I will post pics tonight or tomorrow of Toxic's custom setup from Cycle One Off.
I know some of you asked about putting an Air/fuel monitor and gauge on the bike. It shouldnt be too hard. The hardest part will be welding the O2 sensor bung into the exhaust pipe.
I believe it will work better on a 4-2-1 header because you will get a reading from all 4 cylinders. On a dual...
Shopping around online for parts, pretty sure I'm going to throw a flow meter in line behind the fuel pump, and use a mini digital readout to show actual amount of fuel consumed, maybe use a panel mount display and cut it into the airbox shelter rather than hang something on the bars. Either...
I bought a 1.5" oil pressure gauge with the intent of mounting it on the handlebars. I thought there would be no problem getting a "pod" or other type of mounting hardware to make a clean install. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find any type of mount for the handlebars that does not look...
Has anyone used the fuel level gauge (YM-01312) in the manual (Pg 5-9) to check fuel levels in float bowls?
Is the "piston center mark" on the gauge or carb?
Where do you hold the gauge for correct measuring? The reading would fluctuate depending on how high/low you hold it since it is...
I started my 1985 vmax today after painting the side covers and replacing all gaskets.There is no tach or temp gauge.The lights on the gauge cluster work as do the neutral light and signal indictor.Where is the best place to start? Is there more fuses other than the 4 under the seat? Thanks for...
OK. I've been drooling over Lankey's gauge pod since last summer, but without the cash...........no tickee, no shirtee!:tantrum:
So I decided to just do it myself......
I wanted to keep the factory indicator lamps (why I do not know! - would have been easier to scrap them all and use LED'S)...
Any one know where I can find a quad channel A/F gauge? Had 4 individual bungs welded into my kerker for tuning each cylinder. I have found plenty of dual channels.
Thanks in advance
Cheers
Is there a way to sync my carbs with a single port vacume gauge? I know it will be a pain to go from carb to carb but is this possible. also what is the easyest way to adjust the 3 adjustment screws for the carbs? Thanks...
What size gauge fits in the stock tach position? is it 2 1/16? Also how is the tach removed from the housing ...is it just screwed in or is it more involved to get out?
I never really cared for the way the stock gauges look without a bezel. IMO they are just too bland and needed a little detail work. So with no luck finding bezels to fit the gauges (mostly just the temp gauge) and after seeing Lankees gauge setup I decided to just make them myself. I made these...
I have an oil pressure gauge and I am wanting to install it on my max now the 10mm hex that is by the oil level is the one i have seen used for the pressure now is that just drilled and tapped or if another fitting will screw right in there with no problem also would some tubing for house use...
are there any different types of face plates for the gauges that would cover the existing brushed alum. panel that's stock on mine(carbon fiber for example)
