V11 Oil Pressure Gauge, Best Practices?

Why in the world would you want to run an OPG?

From what I gather, the OEM oil pressure sender unit is not highly reliable. A basic mechanical gauge can be installed for not much more cost than a new sender. Then you will also know how much pressure you have under various conditions - such as whether the bike is getting oil-starved on hard acceleration or steep inclines.

 

Some people just prefer gauges over warning lights - because gauges give you more warning.

 

@JB - I have an external gauge that you borrow if you just want to test pressure and are not concerned about a full-time reading.

 

 

Thanks, I think i will get one just to have it. Does it connect directly to where the oil pressure sensor screws into the block? Or somewhere else?

I took the stock sender out and screwed in the external gauge there.

...earlier in this post, it was stated that they thought that Motratech had gone out of business.  I just purchased their peg kit, which I love, so they are still in business.  Bob..
