TEMPERATURE SENSOR
INSTALLS
TEMPERATURE SENSORS:
Most Striker kits contain a model-specific temperature sensor. Installing the temperature sensor enables
temperature readouts on Striker. Alternative sensors are available.
Vehicles cooled with water use sensors to measure the fluid temperature, while air-cooled machines take
the cylinder head’s temperature at the spark plug. The radiator fin sensor is the easiest installation for
water cooled applications.
CVT Sensor Install:
(Continuously Variable Transmission)
200ºF+ Warning: CVT Belt wear occurs
more rapidly at high temperatures.
Let the belt cool down to increase lifespan.
Drill 13/64” (5mm) hole in
hard plastic CVT exhaust.
Thread sensor into hole.
The sensor threads are M6x10.
Use high temp RTV (silicone
gasket sealer) to seal case cover.
Not included in kit.
