ZX10R Oil Pressure gauge sender location?

Hi All

Anybody fitted an electrical oil pressure gauge to a ZX10R?

If so where did you instal the sender unit?
Any sizes/suppliers used would be handy!
Pictures and it's definatly a Gold Star..

Not a ZX10 but a fireblade.

The senders are not very internally strong on a bike engine and space is limited, you replace the oil switch with a goodrich NTP brake line and mount the sender on the chassis

I've got one on my ZX10R - as stated by Mark don't mount it direct as the vibration kills them, mount remotely using a short braided hose. I use a sender from ETB Instruments, theirs incorporates a low pressure switch as well as the analog pressure. They can also supply the hose but it's not difficult to make one up yourself.

No photo but mine's fitted in place of the original Kawasaki oil pressure switch with the sensor unit fixed to the bulkhead.





Not very Locost but very BEC

Hi All

Thanks for that, makes much more sense now - that will get another thing ticked off the list!
