I've got the temp only guage, no level. That new model is a sound improvment over a single function like temp. Who can look a temperture guage on a bike and understand the condition of the bike? Unless it is extreme temps ( low and high ) there's no guide to reading oil temp to warn ya of anything! Plus with the model I have, I have to straighten the bike with one hand and make it upright, balance the bike with my legs, pull the dipstick once to clean, once to check level and clean again.
It's like a circus act. I look so stupid checking the oil, when there ain't a drop on the garage floor, and it's level, then off a 1/2 qt., then if I lean it just right, I have the right oil level everytime!! Who needs multiple quarts of expensive syn oil when alls ya gots to dos is lean alittle and......pull the stick.
It does look cool all blue, but as far as accuracy, do you have to sit the bike upright for this model too? And what's accurate when measuring on a delay factor? It takes time for sticks to read things like the level electronically. It's like putting gas in, but not enough, but it looked full....? If you wait for the guage to engage, your already down the road wondering how the last LED didn't light on those new flush mounts......
I do dig the blue led though.....
