2007 Dyna Oil/engine Temps
With no oil temp dipstick for the '07s that I can find, is there any other alternative guage or gizmo that allows you to monitor oil or engine temps?

RE: 2007 Dyna Oil/engine Temps
This is just my opinion but monitoring oil temp or engine temp isn't gonna do you much good other than setting you up for more worry (and waste money on accesories). Air cooled engines will get hot - will it damage your bike - probably not. Do a quick search of this forum, or any other internet forum, and see if you can find anyone who has had an oil or heat related engine failure.May find a lot of people worrying about engine heat and more worrying about what kind of oil to use but it's doubtful you'll find one or more people who's bike has had a real problem due to these items out of tens of thousands of postings.
Your bike has an overheat feature which shuts off fuel to one cyclinder when you are at idle and the bike gets too hot as well as lower the rpm's. Your bike will shakeand sound like there's something wrong at this moment (ask me how I know).When moving air flow will keep the engine and oil cool enough.
My advice, once again, is to forget about it and go ride the heck out of your bike.

I put a Thundermax with Auto Tune on my bike. I can plug it into the laptop and crank the bike and it reads Afr's, engine temp and everything. Go to TM web site. I just put one on my buddy's bike.

Look at the round know in front of yer back exaust header. That should be yer oil level. Don't pull it out with the motor running.
The transmission is on the transmission.

Look on the bottom of the plug and see if there wasn't a place for a flex stick to stick in there. Hope somehow it didn't come loose. pr break off.
Mine is made out of plastic. I got a 07 oh.
Take it to the dealer or go to parts and git them to show you a picture. Take yer bike.

Does Sert auto tune the bike so you do not have to dyno it. If you go up in altitude will sert automatically adjust itself. If you make changes to yer bike can you easily change a base map and the bike auto tune itself from there. I've had a sert. Got the sert and factory ECM in the box.
