This was the first install on Gen2's that I saw, using the Maxtow gauge.

Having powersports as my #1 hobby, I came across the Koso battery operated temperature sensor, designed for 2 strokes sleds and bikes that don't have 12v power. MEANING...there are NO wire connections required. Not only that, but its digital and small!
I paid $66 plus the brass T and nipples, total cost was $75.

There are 4 basic steps, #1 takes 45 minutes, the remaining take 15 at most.
1. Install the sensor in the ATF out line from the transmission. (The location shown was easily accessed when the lower plastic shroud is removed.)
EDIT: SEE POSTS BELOW FOR PROPER PLACMENT OF SENSOR AFTER THE ATF COOLER!!!
2. Run the wire thru the big grommet near the brake booster
3. Mount the gauge with adhesive Velcro
4. Snap together 2 wire connections...the sensor & gauge. Done.
Tip - If I were to do this all over again, I would have bought a foot of new 3/8" ID pressure/ATF hose and completely removed the section I was splicing into and replaced it with the new stuff with sensor installed. It would have greatly helped getting the T installed quicker and easier.
Sensor wires are yellow and white at the grommet, the they go back into the black jacket of the cable.
