Help please!
I'm in the process of installing a temp guage to my 85RS (as well as a voltmeter). I've been able to accumulate all the bits and pieces req'd, (even a new temp motometer, at a good price). I have installed the guages and other wiring except for the sensor wiring. My problem is where to route the wire from the new sensor up to the wiring harness under the tank. I assume it would follow the existing temp sensor wiring and have tried poking a stiff wire leader up into the opening at the oil/water pump, but the wire only goes "in" about 125mm and stops.
Am I on the right track here or what?
