    Thermostat change. petcock leak. overheating

    Ok I have read just about all the post on the overheating dilemma. From adding a manual switch to no thermostat. Here is what i did. I did notice the temp would almost reach the red line before the fan kicked on. I went and bought the Yamaha coolant @ $7 a quart x 4. Flushed the system as...

    Thermostat price WTF?

    Any one ever bought a new one? I noticed a slight leak at the water neck/t-stat housing and dove in to correct it while trying to get my bike "perfect" while waiting on my skins to come back from the paint shop. Since I had to go to the pain in the dick of removing the radiator and exhaust...

    How hard is it to change the Thermostat?

    Hey Guys The last trip to NYC had me overheat and die in Chinatown. And it was only 20 degrees. But 60 blocks of stop and go traffic made the max run too hot. I now plan to ride to Daytona from PA at the end of the month. And I am sure the bike will do fine on the trip. But running...

    Thermostat

    Is there any reason that there is a thermostat in the vmax? Its not like a car where you need the thermostat for the heater. I was thinking of removing only the guts of it so there is still a restriction but no valve. Any thoughts?

    Napa thermostat (what did I do wrong this time?)

    While the coolant was out for that nightmarish valve adjust, I put in the Napa thermostat. It fit great, and it has a much smaller spring than the stock one. The install was trouble-free, all the o-rings were in good shape and Lankee helped me remember to use lots and lots of vasoline lube. It's...

    Napa thermostat

    Folks who have installed the Napa thermostat-- Did you replace all the O-rings or just carry on with what's there? Didn't want to wait an extra week to put the bike together, but don't want to go back and do it over again if it's likely to leak, either.... Thanks!

    Bipassing the Thermostat?

    What would happen if I bipass the thermostat? I know the engine will not come up to normal temp, but I was thinking about doing this on my drag bike? I was thinking about trying to simplify the system a bit and basicall just run coolant through the radiator all the time. I think I could plug...

    Different Thermostat?
