[QUOTE="JR'SFJR, post: 331968, member: 7256"] Has anyone added an oil pressure gauge or light to an FJR? I have, like alot of you, added a volt indicator. I love my FJR, but don't understand why it doesn't come with a voltage and oil pressure indicator. They are simple, inexpensive electrical circuits. My BMW's have both. All other vehicles have both. Is this a jap bike thing, where they never leak oil and/or have oil pump failures? I know of a couple of BMW oil pump failures over the years and the light helped from trashing the engine. I talked to a guy the other day that had a 2002 HD oil pump failure. He heard it clatter and shut it down. I wear ear plugs and probably would not have. The manual shows a place to install a test oil pressure gauge on the lower right side of the engine(after removing a plug), half behind the a coolant hose. An electrical sending unit could be installed there with a wire running up to a red light indicator. Any thoughts? Waste of time? [/QUOTE]
