Product Overview
"RR MOTORSPORT RIES", SR400/500, XT500, XT600 MACHINED OIL TEMP GAUGE, "BLACK DIAL", FLUID FILLED, MADE IN GERMANY, RR 34.2
The RR Motorsport Ries oil temperature gauge has been meticulously crafted in Germany since 1976.
This is an iconic Yamaha SR400/500 part that VANEM has proudly sold for many years. RR temperature gauges are internationally recognized as one of the best gauges available for reliability and precision. Using your temperature gauge is a vital part of owning a vintage and modern motorcycle. Your engine oil needs to reach its optimal temperature to offer the best engine lubrication and exceeding safe limits can also be detrimental. To accurately read the engine oil temperature, the RR direct fit gauges offer readings from 0 degree's up to 140 degrees C.
Simply remove your oil level dip stick and screw in the new gauge. Dial alignment is adjustable, and the Oring is serviceable if you ever need to replace it.
Simple, reliable, robust and best of all stylish!

3. Warm up the bike (so gauge is warm)
4. Once at operating temperature gently rotate the dial/face part to the desired position within the alloy housing
5. Re fit to the bike and screw in as normal, check dial is aligned correctly (or in direction you desire)
Fit to bike - enjoy.
