To those whov'e done internal work on 04+.. Oil Temp?

[Chanse]

I found some cheap Oil Temp gauges and some not so cheap, that come with a sensor. My question is are there any ports or plugs that I can remove where I can put the sensor to have it work properly? ie. oil flowing over the sensor. I see a few different plugs that look like they have access to oiling like on the side of the cylinders, but doubt they are good candidates. however I have never worked internally on a GS before and dont want to rip apart my 07 just to see. So if there is anyone out there who can help it would be appreciated.

Oil temp  ....its just something else to worry about. Ignorance is bliss, spend the cash on beer instead.

Well the gauge I found is only $20 and i ride pretty rough. OFTEN. And every once in a while I run up on traffic and have to stop or slow way down. And I can feel the heat. I know its air cooled, and a "tough" engine and all, But I like to know just for GP.

Hi Chanse,

There are things like this one I've got that are a direct swap in place of the OEM oil cap/dipstick.
Probably there are cheaper others around, especially in the US, but you get the point.

Hope it helps
