Water temperature gauge

[machu]

Those who have installed a temperature gauge what is the normal operating temperature , and what would be the max temp that you would shut it down?, also did thy use a digital or dial style gauge?, and was it in Fahrenheit or Celsius ?, and lastly what was the size of the sensor adaptor "T" ?, inside or outside diameter?

I put them in all 3 of my rx's and my rx mtn turbo don't quote me but I think back then 170 was normal it shuts off auto at 200 ish.

It was always Deg F. Cant remember but I think it is just a standard brass threaded plumbing "T" 1/2" with adapter for the censor to fit but may have been 3/4"

Good snow my rx stays near 165°F....personally I don't like to let it get over 200°F. They will shut themselves off at 220 or near there. I forget the exact temp. I installed the digital gauge, this link is install for dial type

Same for me on temperatures. I found a 22mm sender kit at Royal Distributing that worked with an analog gauge from Princess Auto- probably your cheapest option and it works fine for me. The gauge even looks stock.

Mine is around 160 to 165 and rarely ever moves, other than idling. (with fan/radiator installed)

Mine is in Celsius 60C to 80C is normal, Temp light comes on at 100C
Never had it shutdown so I can't give you that info

YammyRX1, I'm glad you stated the size, for some reason I was thinking 18mm, is that the Koso sending unit?, if so I believe it's cheaper at the Koso Canada website than at Royaldistributing, I have been thinking about ordering the gauge and sender from them.
It's a nice mod, I don't know why they would ever have a sled without a temperature gauge?, even my 08 GSX, I had to buy the module to turn on the display already installed in the gauge?, WTF?

My 03 runs about 160 with a good conditions and 180-185 in low snow.

Yes, it's Koso. The gauge really gives you piece of mind especially on those warm days.
