Default Oil temp gauge modifications

I know somebody has already address this but I can't find it again.

I installed Wards FCS fans! Jagg oil cooler and a HD oil temp gauge on my trike. Everything seems to be working good but the temp gauge. It will not register above 150. I'd like t think my oil is running at 150 but not believing it.

Somebody posted suggestions that they experienced low temps because the sensor wasn't seated deep into the circulating oil. If I remember right he modified the adapter bezel that went into the oil pan and held the temp sensor.

Help !!!

I've put in the temp gauge in 5 bikes and have had no problems. Maybe a ground issue?

I don't know what you mean by adapter bezel, but there is a plug beside the oil drain plug that will put the sensor in the oil & keep it there. If you are reading the temp right off the oil cooler you might be reading the just cooled oil & not the pan temps.
