Just bought a in line temp guage and i am Going to mount it in the return line from the bottom of the radiator to the water pump. Was wondering if anyone else has this and what kind of temps are you getting?

Is this the preferred location to check the coolant temp? I think I would rather know what the temp of the water coming out of the engine is rather than the temp of the water coming out of the radiator. 

All heatseeker gauges were in the top hose to the radiator. I had mine up there on my drag bike. Plan on putting it there when i get my bike back together.

Monitoring return temp is ok - you are looking for a average normal operating temp and also if its ABOVE or BELOW normal so you can take action.

I agree the outlet temp is great but its hard to package on the Zilla. I am going to run one in the return line where I can easily look down and see when out roosting and pulling wheelies.

yeah wish I had gone with the digital. Oh well

On the hybrid I did the trail tech digital also. I stuck the display in front of the gas cap so I can see temp without leaning off the bike.

Finally gonna take the bike out this weekend. Will let you guys know what temps it runs at.

the difference between the high temp and low temp will only tell you how your heat exchanger, radiator, is working. the temp of the water coming out of motor is a better indicator of what is going on inside the engine.

any indication is better than no indication so i understand where u are coming. maybe try using a heat gun to get some easy readings.
