February 12, 201214 yr I have noticed that our 125 runs as soon as the bike is started I presume this is not normal should I change the stat or is it ok to run all the time ? Edited February 12, 201214 yr by ar22
February 12, 201214 yr I have noticed that our 125 runs as soon as the bike is started I presume this is not normal should I change the stat or is it ok to run all the time ? sounds like someones wired around the stat ,would be best to correct the problem before it causes a new problem
February 12, 201214 yr Author sounds like someones wired around the stat ,would be best to correct the problem before it causes a new problem looked at the wiring and it all looks untouched going out today, will see if it stays on all the time
February 12, 201214 yr looked at the wiring and it all looks untouched going out today, will see if it stays on all the time stat could be continuously connected inside but not come across that before pull one wire off it n it should stop if its the switch
February 12, 201214 yr I have noticed that our 125 runs as soon as the bike is started I presume this is not normal should I change the stat or is it ok to run all the time ? I would check the Thermo-Switch in the radiator. Unplug one wire and see if the fan stops. If so, the switch may be shorted to run all the time.

February 12, 201214 yr Author you have just reworded what has just been written in previuos reply now now boys, any help is good help just put multimeter across switch there is continuity when cold switch is goosed better get one ordered thanks for all the replies
February 14, 201214 yr Author got the new switch havnt removed the old one yet any idea how its fitted looks like it just pops in does the old one just get levered off with a screw driver
February 15, 201214 yr If the switch is in the radiator it screws in, if it's in a housing midway along the the hoses then to remove it you need to open up the metal clip piece then pull out the switch. Replacing it is as simple as pushing back into the rubber sleeve & closing the clip back up. Did the switch come with a new sleeve & clip or do you need to reuse the original?

Did the switch come with a new sleeve & clip or do you need to reuse the original? its the one for the pipe yes it came with the housing, thats what confused me initially I presumed, open the two clips and pull it out (or screw it out ?), then it arrives complete and no obvious way of the housing attaching seems to have a lipped o ring which must just pop into the hose fitting
February 16, 201214 yr Sounds to be how I remember, use all the new parts to be safe. When you open the clips you need to twist it to remove it
