gasgasblue Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 anyone had any problems with 05 thermostats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timp Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 Fit an inline thermo.The 05 one isn't reliable and is a pig to get at. Shirty sells the necessary bits. Are you riding the Jack Wood Mark T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motomax Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 My 04 Raga has the same thermostat and it just crapped out. I am going to replace it today. I'll post my experience with the repair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sting32 Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 Yo! DUDES, more info on the 'problem' please? was the fan not working, or what is up? Raga's version has different one that the regular 04-05 models? Maybe I have the problem you have but thought it was normal (as is usually the case until I read this group, ya know?)

subira Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 I noticed in the TMX coverage of the Ibiza IWTC round that you can see that Jeroni is running the in-line thermostat - it doesn't look like a stock picture and the bike has 05 graphics. Q.E.D even the factory have jumped ship, back to the old version. Also I notice he doesn't use the Mag clutch cover, why would that be ?

wobbly1 Posted April 2, 2005 Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 I took this photograph at the Red Rose round of the British Championship in October 2004. The thermostat has a bypass switch which allows the fan to be switched on if the thermostat fails. Unfortunately I can't tell you who's bike it was or what year.

subira Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 I would suggest that the bike belongs to Mika Vesty (it has an Apico sticker on the downtube) Would be on a 04 300 Pro. Does that give me the 'Trainspotter of the Day' Award ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motomax Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 I replaced my 04 Raga thermostat the other day. It was straight forward. Uses a little circlip to hold it in. The biggest problem is getting the radiator out and in, its a tight fit! I tried fitting an 04 Std Pro thermostat in line but it did not work! Not sure why? It works in my 04 Pro but not my Raga bike? Figure that? I like the switch idea, I think I will do the same. The symtoms were overheating with coolant running out of the overflow, no fan. I tested the fan, rectifier and both were ok. Replaced thermostat and problem solved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
