98 Blade Oil Temp/pressure

Gents:

Does the standard Blade Clocks display oil pressure or is it simply a warning light on the clocks?

Actually, what exactly does display on the clocks? I'm trying to sort the wiring diagram.

It only has an oil pressure warning light which is pretty much useless as it comes on so low that the engine is likely to be FUBAR before it actually turns itself on if you're at any decent RPM. The reasons they do this though is to stop it coming on at idle, and is the same on most bikes.

On the 89/99 clocks you have:

Speed
Revs
Digital odometer / trip
Digital water temp
Neutral
Oil pressure light
Indicators and main beam

Yes it does; thanks. I got confused because the wiring diagram have the oil output. For some reason, I assumed this was oil pressure. This would explain why you have a oil pressure/temp gauge...

--Thanks, Chris

Yep, Id certainly recommend gettin yourself oil temp/pressure gauges, the oil takes a lot longer than the water to heat up properly, so apart from anything else it allows you to determine when you can safely cane the nuts off it
