Voltage Meter

[OZZ3]

What type and where is a good place place to purchase a volt meter for a Spyder RT?

Hi, I installed Red LED Intellitronix 9015R gauge, back in 2012 I believe, along with a Intellitronix 9014R red digital Oil pressure gauge in the dash next to the cluster on opposite sides . Intellitronix has a bright red display which is dimmable. I have tried others, this display is readable in bright sun light.
The DVM voltmeter I found is accurate to .1 volts and usually displays between 13.8 to 14.1 during driving dependent upon lights that are on and brake lights. The accuracy of mine I verified with my DVM fluke and bench DVM which is in calibration.
The GS & RS Spyders I believe the magneto is 750 watt while the RT is slightly larger capacity, both are controlled by a shunt regulator which clamps the voltage to about 14.1 on my GS.
eBay and JC Whitney I know are a couple of sources..
Ps the motor at idle above 13.0 volts. Yes, when you turn on the key after the Spyder has been parked for several days with no battery maintenance charger connected, it will probably be about 12.3 to 12.5 .

OZZ3 -- Did you install the S8434 oil pressure sender the 9014R gauge came with? If so what adapters did you use? Thanks.

OZZ3 hasn't been to Spyderlovers since June, 2020, so you may not get a reply.

Thanks. I noticed after I posted his engine wasn't my 1330cc. The service manual describes the test port which I think an oil sender can be threaded into and there seems to be enough room for the sender itself so no remote via hose needed.

I got a rocker switch/usb port/voltmeter off amazon for 14$,just search it the way I said it.I put it in the unused slot where all the rockers are on my 17rt,yours may be different.Holds up fine in the rain too.
