Right on I checked their site out. I guess the spark plug one would be best for a spree?

yeah. those gauges work real good. got them on 3 of my bikes. and used it on my race scoot for the last 2 years now.

Have you had any trouble or heard of a spree throttle freezing up do to cold weather? Mine did this tonight for the 2nd time. I drove 5 miles with the throttle pinned and would regulate speed with brake and kill switch, ran a few stop signs and made it home. Last time it happened about 1 mile from home so I hiked back... Thanks for any input.

BTW a temp guage depends on what gear ratio you run, also what plug heat range you run- westack analog is the best.

Please explain how the gear ratio corresponds to the temp gauge. I dont understand how it would.

You might have to some how get oil in the cable housing. Moisture must have built it inside so when it gets down to freezing level, it ices up and rust begins to form inside. Its bit of a pain and time consuming.

baka, did you remove the crush washer from the spark plug for the temp gauge?

I run both. I do take the crush washer off to slide the sending unit ring on then put the crush washer back on

Thanks, I put some tri-flow down there the first time but did it 1/2 a s s so I will acually remove the line and force it all the way down until it leaks out the bottom...
