05 R1 oil adapter thread sizes?
I want to pick up my pressure gauge (capillary type) from the main gallery end plug.
The original aluminium plug has a hex key which makes it too thin to tap.
I have a brass adapter that seems to go into the thread but only about 3 turns. (this has an internal thread for a 1/8 npt brass male end).
First, does anyone know the thread size of the gallery? I have been through the R1 04 manual and can't find anything other than the part number
for the oil pressure test adapter.
I don't want to wind the brass adapter in any further as it may cause the thread in the gallery to split, so I am not sure if it is the right
one.
I would rather get the correct one for the job.
Cheers Martin

Hi Martin my gauge (electric) came with an adapter that fitted my r1 perfectly im sure that yours is the same so it should be ok but if not
i had some made a few weeks ago that do fit they cost me £10 each though if you want one ill post one out
