Morning. Forecast is for more heartbreak later this morning after I have a vet come to the house to put the sweet pup out of her misery.  Really quite bummed that the "golden girls" (my age, her color) adventures could never come to fruition.

No other news other than the need for more coffee and figuring out a new plan.

Man, you ain't kidding

Good morning

200^oF is not overheated, just damn uncomfortable for the rider.  For your comfort, a lower temperature fan sensor or manual switch.  Do check your CO level.  Lean = heat.

It's snowing here. Right now. As in there is accumulation on the ground. This is some bullshit.

Someone will check your ID at the door

morning

I removed the thermostats inner sprung section but left the body so that the inner diameter could govern the flow rate. I experimented with  stock, modified and no thermostats and recorded engine temps at various rpm during the same weather temps.  Sometimes you can find a thermostat which activates at 70-75 deg C rather than 80-85 C.

I can't recommend the same mods across the board for bikes because it relies on various factors like radiator capacity, water pump rate, impeller design, and radiator fan design. I used "cored" thermostats on two bikes, uprated fan blades on another and one bike had an uprated water pump. Another bike had a cored thermostat, uprated fan blades and the ECU fan programme was altered as a factory option. A summer season race bike (NC30) had the thermostat completely removed but it had no fan. A Brutale had an altered ECU fan programme by bikeboy and high flow water pump. A Daytona 955 had a cored thermostat. There were different combinations of cooling mods. It required testing for each type of bike on a case by case basis. You can imagine the wrong modification may not let the bike warm up properly in cool weather or run too hot at certain rpm.
