You could always add an auxiliary gauge, if you can tee into the plumbing.

went out for a test ride yesterday to find that my wet clutch is poo poo and that my rad (I think) is leaking from the pressure of the new water pump....new wet clutch and one way bearing ordered but going to try a rad additive to see if I can seal the rad for now till I can save up for new rad and relocation kit

When you get a new rad, it will be a good time for new hoses and a thermostat. Everything will be top notch and reliable then.

update
sorry I haven't been on here posting much ...been busy with life and such.
I have added the following since last post; new thermostat, new water pump, cleaned and re-greased the rollers, changed 2 axles, new brakes, rad relocate kit, snorkels and a rear seat. I will upload pics tomorrow.

so here is what the rollers looked like when i first took it all apart......wayyyyy too much grease in there
take the plate out and this is what i found not alot of room to run the snorkels in here ended up cutting out allot of plastic and have to relocate my winch control but it is what it is all installed rad re-locate and snorkels had to trim one of the tabs off the rad cap so that i can turn it -_- thats it for now ...i am sure i have some more pics around here somewhere.

Does Yamaha recommend the rollers be greased? I know that on my Honda Elite they were suppose to be dry. The ones in the buggy are dry too.

I bet it felt like a new quad after cleaning all that grease out.
