    Oil temperature gauge

    the magnetic Oil plug had absolutely nothing attached to it. when you rub the oil between your fingers it is incredibly slick compared to Amsoil that I had sitting around in the garage. The 300V exceeds all Api specs.

    Oil temperature gauge

    I finally got around to install the oil temperature gauge. The sensor is installed in the oil drain plug. I took the power from the left side accessory plug. I actually cut the plug and installed a fused accessory block with 4 outlets. I noticed that in stop and go driving here in Florida at...

    Oil temperature gauge

    In my owners manual is actually a picture and instructions on how to display the oiltemp in the the cluster. But I tried and the value cannot be displayed on mine.

    Oil temperature gauge

    I am planning on installing a oil temperature gauge on my R18 C. When I do my upcoming oil change I will install a M16x1.5 adapter plug with a 1/8 NPR sensor instead of the OEM drain plug. the wiring is pretty straight forward. I will tap into switched power at the plug under the left battery...

    Rear tyre punctures and solutions

    I converted my rims to tubeless and couldn't be happier with the result!

    Converting rim from tube to tubeless

    No issue whatsoever! The tires hold the pressure better than with the tubes. I had a very slight leak in the beginning on the front wheel but that was because the tire bead was leaking against the rim. I released the air and reinflated it hitting th tire with a rubber mallet and it sealed...

    Converting rim from tube to tubeless

    I should have done the same. I think I switch them out the next time a new tire is due.

    Converting rim from tube to tubeless

    Almost no play whatsoever. After it's tightened it absolutely does not move.

    Converting rim from tube to tubeless

    I ordered a 3pin plug from Ali Express just to see whether it would work with the Pigtail under the left side cover above the battery. I will post updates when I get it.

    Converting rim from tube to tubeless

    The way I did mine I can also get to each individual spoke to reseal it if I had to and then reseal it. I didn't like the outex kit because I don't think it would have performed well on these rims. The heads of the spokes protrude quite a bit at an angle that I don't think these "stickers" would...
