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?

...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..
