zx12 r temperatures/ oil pressure
I have fitted some addition gauges to my zx12r powered indy, water temp, oil temp and pressure, can anyone tell me what to set the warning limits to
and what readings should I be getting under normal conditions.

Oil only - Under normal conditions @ 90C degrees & 4,000rpm, oil pressure should be 23psi.
We have our oil temp warning limit set to 115C for trackdays.
We don't have a water temp gauge other than the one on the standard bike clock.

Cheers phil, what oil pressure have you set for the alarm limit?

We haven't set a limit for the oil pressure because it's so low at tickover and low revs on the ZX12R, that the alarm would be constantly
going off. We just keep an eye on the pressure gauge under hard cornering on trackdays.

My oil is never over 85 deg.
Water 90 deg.
@ trackdays that is.

Oil temperature is a bit on the cool side for a trackday, given that under normal conditions it should run at 90 deg @ 4,000rpm........

I think it is due to the massive oilcooler it has.
85 is quite ok.
