1984 GPZ 1100 Engine Temperature Gauge

I was thinking of installing an engine temperature gauge onto my dash on my 1984 GPZ 1100 and was wondering where do I tap into to get the temperature reading?

Thanks,
Steve

If you buy an aftermarket Temp gauge, it should come with or you will need the correct sending unit for it. The factory Temp sensor for your injection system is just for the computer, not your aftermarket gauge. If the range of the sensor was found to be the same. Hooking it into the factory wiring would require a diode so as to not cause additional resistance to the computer.
Best to have its own separate sensor calibrated for the gauge you buy.

I'll be shopping for GAUGES tomorrow, A GAUGE WITH IT'S OWN SEPARATE SENSOR.....BUT WHERE DO I INSTALL THE SENSOR??

The 1984 GPZ is still air cooled.

Make sure you are getting a temp gauge and sensor that are for an aircooled engine. The sensor is probably a ring the goes under the spark plug like a washer.

The other option would be a oil temperature sensor.

thnks for the heads up tachrev.... If I were to get the
oil temperature sensor where about on the engine would I have to tap into ?
thanks Steve

Check out this thread. There is a spot in the oil gallery above the ignition cover.
