neo Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Has anyone found a suitable replacement thermostat for the Sherco? I can't believe the money Sherco charge for this device.....looks like it comes out of a dishwasher to me. And there might be an even better/slimmer one waiting to be discovered Best of balance.

stork955 Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Gday Neo, It might be worth taking into your local Bursons, Repco etc and getting them to try matching it up with a car one. They must be pretty similar in function as car fans start around 98C ish (they both have pressurized systems) so its mainly finding a thread to suit. Shouldn't be too hard...(famous last words :-) Cheers, Stork Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copemech Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 I cannot recall anything similar in automotive use, although there may be some commonality between bikes manufactured, and prices seem to vary among common parts?

trialsnutterman Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Most car ones work differently as they provide the temperature for the ECU and the gauge in the dash, the ECU turns the fan on. Trials bike ones are just a on off switch that turn on at a certain temperature. If you were really keen you could make a circuit up to use a car one, it would be fairly easy to rig it up with a adjustable turn on point, if that floats your boat.

stork955 Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Gday, I was thinking older pre-ECU vehicles - around the 80's, early 90's. Ones that had a thermo switch in the radiator for the fan. Have a look - http://www.tridon.com.au/Products/Product....=483&P=2014 Cheers, Stork Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shercoman2k8 Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 As far as im aware, and the forest floor is after it found itself soaked in coolant, that the sherco stat isn't threaded. Rather just the push in kind with a case around. should be able to find a push in kind down your local motor factors, thats where I got my replacement on my 06.

copemech Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 Yea, it is just a thermo switch, not a sensor, and not threaded in, just held with a retainer and seal. I just do not know ov anything else that fits it, although it may be produced by Leonelli, some liquid cooled scooters may use something similar. Once again, life is too short!

tony27 Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 If memory serves me correctly 90's gassers used the same switch so might be worth checking on price for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo Posted September 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 If memory serves me correctly 90's gassers used the same switch so might be worth checking on price for them Maybe more to the point....what do GasGas use now and is it adaptable??

tony27 Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 (edited) I think they screw into the radiator like the 99-00 bultacos did. Peter B will be able to confirm this Edited September 7, 2009 by tony27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shercoman2k8 Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 Found this on the mitani site, what y'all think? http://mitani-kobe.shop-pro.jp/?pid=7757205 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo Posted September 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 Well Spotted shercoman Akira Makoto is in effect puts a very fragile credibility. High quality parts at a very cheap. RTL250R Reliable switches employ RTL250R genuine products! ! However Samosuitchiatatchimento is produced in high quality aluminum and is also highly corrosive damage anodized black! !

copemech Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Looks like that would work, is it anodized ali? or plastic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo Posted September 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 (edited) The gassers changed to the in-rad type in 03 So it should read All SHERCO's and 95-03 GASGAS Looks like that would work, is it anodized ali? or plastic? Your guess Cope is as good as mine. I think it's a better device though. Because on the Sherco thermostat the fixed spade connectors rub up against the tank. Best of balance.
