oJust wondering where my oil temp sensor is as my monster hardly ever warms up (According to the digital readout).
I have a feeling it may be locateds near the sight glass right hand side at the end of the oil strainer?
But see there's some other sensor at the abck of the engine facing the back wheel low down, is that the oil pressure?
I don't think its a combined oil pressure / temp sensor.

Someone advise please and also where to get a new temp sensor?

You have one by/under the sight glass - that's for the instrument - if it fails, you'll have no reading on the instrument.
Another one on top of the horizontal head - that's for the ECU. Don't know what happens if it fails. Disconnect and find out?

Oil pressure sensor is one inch from the oil fill plug.

The one at the back of the engine is neutral gear sensor.

My temp sensor is nearly always low unless I do a 20 mile trip then it may just get to 55. So is it worth replacing the temp sensor?

My 695 runs at about 75 as normal in warmish weather but obviously climbs if sat in traffic. It seems to take about 3 to 4 miles to go from low to 50 which is a pain as I dont like ragging it until it has warmed up a bit!
