As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Temperature sender

1983 GS1100 ESD. I am installing a Top End Oiler. In doing so, the oil pressure and temperature sending units will be lost. I have installed an oil pressure guage, so that is taken care of. However, the temperature sender is another story. Does anyone have a suggestion as to where I can relocate this or is there another work-around...ie different sender that will work with the stock analog guage in the instrument cluster?

Thanks...Craig
 
you need to locate a "T" fitting to mount the sender in.
on my bike I have a oil cooler that gets it's supply from where the oil pressure switch originally mounted, it has a T fitting, the oil goes out one end and the pressure sender is mounted in the other end.
 
I have no problem with the oil pressure sender...it's the temperature sender that I am having the problem with.
 
Hi :lol:

I have my temp sender (Lucas,not original) in the drain plug.
Works great.Drilled a hole in the plug and
used a 10mm tread.

This is on my GS1000GLx
 
The plate off an 1150 has space for two senders.
BTW why arent you using the outlets at either side of the block? there is one on the right hand side which has a bolt in it, the one on the left you need to remove the stator cover and drill out.

Dink: The unit that comes from APE has a replacement cover, that originally has the oil and temp sender in it. This new cover has the two outlets for each side of the Top End Oiler. Once replaced, you loose the temp and pressure sender. I drilled out the plug on the right side and installed a oil filled Oil Pressure Guage. I now need to relocate the Temp. sender.

Kind regards...Craig

Is there any down side to doing in this way vs the way APE does theres?
