bah, never mind.

Do anyone of you have an idea? Will the drain plug sensor work?
Thank you!

Yeah I have an idea. See my gauges thread and speedometer. I'm running 3 sensors, ambient air, oil sump (inside the drain plug) and cilinder head temperature. Does the sump sensor work?
Yes and no. The sump bolt is too exposed for a usefull reading. It cools down too much to be of use when driving especially on the highway. Don't even bother checking it when it is raining because you will not get a usefull reading due to rainwater hitting the bottom of the engine. It's cute when you stand at a traffic light and you want to check if the oil is at operating temperature. That is all you can do with it.

An oil sump temperature sensor is useless for checking if you are overheating or not. In the sump the oil will be the coolest. As you cannot get an accurate reading you cannot even estimate if the oil is getting critical at the places it will be critical.

This is why I'm running a temperature sensor in the cilinderhead. It's simply a glass thermistor and some high temperature wire and shrinktube. I put the thermistor in the water drainage hole behind the sparkplug. Excellent reading on the hottest part of the bike: the cilinder head. Allows me to check if things are becoming critical when pulling my trailer. Fully loaded (100kg trailer) and a passenger bring it to critical temperatures.

I come to the conclusion that the oil sump bolt temperature sensor is pointless. If you want to track critical temperatures, put a sensor in the cilinderhead.
Next service I will remove my oil sump sensor and reinstall the magnet-sumpbolt. At least that one performs a usefull function.

The point is just do something on my bike and learn new things  And to know the temperature of the oil can't hurt, so...

I'll ask it again in case someone skips the first posts, anyone knows if the clutch cover plug under the pickup cover is M14x1.5?

It's actually M14x1.25
