guages

Post by China_Racer_1 »

Quick question on guages.

I need a tach and a temp guage.

I am thinking the stadard temp guage will work but if there is anythign trick and fairly cheap out there please turn me on to it.

Tachometer.... I tried to hook up three of them but it was all hay wire. I think an after market one would work best. any clue what works on the YXF engine I have and how does it work as in wher does it hook up to.

Again cheap and easy to install is a must.

As far as temp gauges go, you could realistically get any temp gauge, what i've seen guys do is use a T connection and put the sensor in line with the hose, and just run the sensor straight to the gauge. The T connection just has to have the thread to fit the sensor I think. That make any sense?

For the tach, i dont have any experience with the yzf engines (i think that's what you mean, not yxf?) but i have a budget standalone tach that worked for my fzr600 that you can have for shipping.
