On the ZX, the gauge is at the bottom left of the rad. But I don't know it that's the inlet or the outlet.

Or on oil passage blockage leading to seizure?
I suspect a blockage, The header had some mysterious, thick red goo at the bottom of it that came out neon pink after being mixed with distilled water :eek . I suspect the rad and pipes are similarly clogged.
Seizure, I doubt, as the bike still starts cold, and has run fine up to 3/4s temperature (hotter than it ever used to, admittedly), with no funny noises.
