Question is : Does anyone make them to read all three cylinders? Or isn't it necessary to read each individual cylinder?
I'm running the stock single pipe. And don't have any intentions of changing to triple pipe.

I think that it's important to know what temp is exiting each cylinder. If not for a performance gain, for when things go south.

Hey thanks
aaen seems to have a gauge that can read 3 probes. Just wondering if putting them in the manifold would be to close to cylinder. Or would a single probe in pipe be enough for tuning/monitoring?

There are many more on EGT PROBE on the search engine. Lots of informed reading.

Hey thnks , coupleofbucks that pretty much answers my question.
I found a nice guage that's manual with 3 needles on one gauge, made by westech.
Although I would have prefered the pyro 2001 digital one with rpm and temp built in, but it was only for twin cylinder applications.
Thanks to you and everyone for the replies and links.

I had the Westech twin analog gauge on my 500 Indy and found it unreadable at speed. I marked the set point using a paint pen on the crystal which helped.
The sled came back to me for repairs 15 years later and it was still working. I used it to diagnose a leaking crank seal.

For eas of readability, you could add two gauges. I believe the 99s have the places on each side of tach & speedo...right. Put a dual egt on one side. On the other side have a dual as well ,except that one needle would be an egt and the other be water temp.
If Westach doesn't have any egt/water gauges pre-made, they can configure a gauge with ANYTHING you want. If you want them to put together a gauge that has 2 egts, 1 cht and a water temp they'll do it.

Ok that's cool to hear about the westech still workin 15yrs later. Looking at the quality of build and the fact that sell alot of gauges for airplanes, made me think they were top quality.
@ coupleofbucks excellent suggestions. Except now I have more decisions to think about, but in a good way....

I should mention that they were pretty useless for tuning or gauging fuel quality given they're inherent lack of granualarity and were just plain hard to see bouncing around at speed. You'll know which hole goes out but that's about it.

Look at glowshift gauges. They make a digital egt in blue and red. I'm installing 3 on my 01 sx700r.
