Here is a link to the TrailTech temperature gauge. It is simple to install as it works "ALL" the time and never shuts off. You stick the unit somewhere that you can read it, and run the wire down to the engine and mount the sensor. I have mine located on the right rear cylinder head stud - as it is the easiest to access......mine reads a bit lower than DragBikeMike's as his is on the stud near the exhaust port and mine is on the rear near the intake port. The temperature on mine runs around 240 degrees on calm rides in normal temps.....up around 270 when running 70mph on 90 degree days. Once when stuck in traffic and once when crawling up a steep gravel road in 1st gear in 95+ temperatures the gauge got to 300.
The easiest bolts to access for the sensor would be the studs under the intake or exhaust ports.
The one downside to the Trailtech is that the battery cannot be replaced. It is supposed to last about 5+ years - then it stops working and you just remove it and throw it away....shame it cannot be hardwired or the battery replaced.
