I seen one for the Vmax that goes in the fill plug.

You don't want an oil pressure gauge on a 1st gen. All it would do is drive you nuts. You would be afraid to even ride the bike. These bikes have virtually no readable oil pressure as low RPM and very little at higher, but guess what, they do fine. Maybe this is why Yamaha only put an oil level gauge on it.

I have a 60 psi gauge that is pinned on start up. 100 psi gauge is useless. Either you had a 100psi gauge or there is something wrong with your bike. Mine runs 70psi on start up(pinned)and rarely falls below 8psi...normal idle fully warmed up is 10psi. I made my set up with parts from PepBoys and a gauge from my local H-D accessory bike shop. Yes that allen plug is removed and you put a plug w/gasket , you tap plug with 1/8" NPT.

Where do you hook it up?

Got it

This is one from Cycle One Off. They also have a 'dash' mount version.

 

I unhooked the stock oil level sensor, got tired of seeing it come on all the time.

that location is not visable with all fairing pieces in place and sitting on the bike. Mine sits between clutch and water pump. I can easily see it when stopped. Just took a couple of 45 fittings from pep boys........... picture coming
