Oil temp gauge install problem
I recently installed the fairing mounted oil temp gauge, and it is not registering at all. The sending unit in properly installed in the pan, and the wiring routed up the left-side downtube into the fairing.
As the installation directions indicate, the harness female end is connected into the air temp gauge male connector, and the 3 prong connector attaches to the back of the gauge. Am I missing something? This seems pretty straight-forward and seems like a simple process. Please advise as to what I didnt do correctly. Thanks in advance

As others have said, it takes a few miles to start to register, and 15-20 to get completely hot. But 60 miles would be plenty far enough. All you can do is check all your connections. It is a simple system and the fix is probably simple too. If that doesn't work, trouble shoot. If it were me, I'd start at the sender. Pull the wiring off the sender and short the leads with something. Does it move now?
Good luck, post up what you find.

There is a ground at the gauge? I thought it was just one plug to run everything and that uses the existing air temp harness.
