With the direct oil temperature indicator from RR Motorsport, the oil level of a motorcycle can be read off with little effort. The first test reveals how well this works.

Not only because of the increasingly strict noise and emission regulations, they are becoming increasingly rare, but they still exist: air-cooled engines! Today they are almost only used in classic-looking vehicles such as the BMW R nineT series, Ducati’s Scrambler, Kawasaki’s W 800 and all Moto Guzzis and Royal Enfields.

In use on the MOTORRAD endurance test machines

If you want to know without a lot of effort when the sometimes very long, wear-intensive warm-up phase is over, depending on the outside temperature, you can replace this with a thermometer from RR Motorsport on engines with an oil dipstick. Our Moto Guzzi V85 TT and Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 endurance testers use one each.

Due to its hidden location, the V85 does not give you a chance to read it while driving, but you still get an overview of the conditions under which the oil gets how hot. With the Enfield, the sensor cannot measure directly in the oil pan due to its design, but only the air temperature in the crankcase, but the measured values ​​are very plausible. Of course, the indicator also works with water-cooled engines. Almost any thread and any sensor length can be manufactured according to specifications.

Noticed positively: Very easy assembly, exact display

Noticed negatively: Depending on the bike, it is difficult or impossible to read while driving

Price: From 66.50 euros

MOTORCYCLE Rating: 4 stars out of a possible 5

Conclusion

The direct oil temperature indicator RR Motorsport was able to convince in the first test. We liked the very easy installation and the exact display of the oil level. However, the display is sometimes difficult or impossible to read while driving.
