Temp Sensor

• Remove the wire from sender (by thermostat) and ground it shortly (ignition ON). This should make the temperature meter to show hot. If not, there is problem either with the wire, or meter itself. If it works OK, then the sender is bad. The same sender is used in Interceptors, V45's and also in 93 Honda Accords and Civics from that time. The original part number is 37750-PC1-004, and the same number is used in cars too.

Temperature Gauge to Degree

• 1 bar = 115F
• 2 bars = 129F
• 3 bars = 162F
• 4 bars = 199F
• 5 bars = 216F
• 6 bars = 239F
• 7 bars = 266F

The first two bars are considered the "warm up" period. Bars 3 to 6 denote normal operating temperature. The bikes usually operate in the 3 to 4 bar range, unless in traffic where the 5 to 6 bar range will most likely be encountered. The fan should keep the engine from exceeding the 6 bar mark. The seventh bar means danger, and under normal circumstances should never be encountered. If 7 bars should appear, shut off the engine and look for a problem... (low coolant level, inoperative fan, bad thermostat, etc.)
