Description
Great bike, but no thermostatic control at all from the factory. When it’s warm outside, your engine is warm. When it’s cold outside, your engine is cold. A surprising amount of the time, the EFI sees cold coolant and overfuels, thinking the bike is constantly in ‘warm-up’ mode. The Thermo-Bob is a machined aluminum housing with a 180°F (82°C) thermostat inside, and modifies your cooling system to operate like automotive systems have for decades… keeping coolant flowing all the time through the engine, but not through the radiator until it is up to a selected temperature.
