Thermostat opening too soon on a rc36.2 naked


Recommended Posts

Hello my follow viffers,

 

I recently nakeded my vfr750

And on the digital Koso gauge the water temp never really comes above 75C c when riding and on a cold day it doesn't come over 50C.

You might think that the thermostat is broken but i changed that this winter hoping that it would stay on temp this season.

 

Now I've been thinking, could a thermostat that opens at a higher temp say 86C or maybe 88C keep the bike at the right temperature? And if so how do i find one. Because I've been searching but with no results.

Also pic is my naked project

Where is the Koso gauge picking up the temperature? From the engine block as per the original or from the radiator?

 

I would place more faith in a mechanical device like a thermostat functioning correctly than some digital device (but then I am getting older...). How about checking the engine block temperature with an IR gun?

Its measures at the thermostat house

Just as original.

But I managed to find a fitting stat which opens at 88C but this did not have any effect even after driving for a while.

So I think the rad is too big for this bike in naked trim
