Temp gauge trouble shooting

[Nottsbiker]

Sorry only skim read

Yes is going to take for ever to get up to operating temperatures with no stat

Sounds right with the reading, mine is just above where the line in the display starts to thicken, but will get hot in deep sand or slow technical trails.

Photo for clarification, mine is usually well below this reading:

@jens-eskildsen mine don't get that far even when I been off road but I am running pure water doubt it could make that much difference but we will see as I'm getting one anyway they look good

@terry-tz mine doesent read at all and my bike warms up real quick faster than my 4 stroke it gets really hot but just seems that it's the way the engine likes it tbh since I don't cruise any where it's always full throttle If the roads clear

[terry.tz]

@declan ye same and I'm not sure I think it moves a tiny bit il take a photo and just look like a d!ck later and keep at in the band everywhere I go I can imagine the looks now when I'm at traffic lights with my purple helmet

@jens-eskildsen does yours sit on 20 when cold why does it do this they all seem to?

[terry.tz]

???? I'm confused at what your asking him

[declan]

@terry-tz

Stone cold it sits on 20.c every pic I can find shows the needle on exactly that

[Jens Eskildsen]

Havent noticed, but I tested at boiling temp and it was spot on.

[declan]

@jens-eskildsen mind looking for me when you can?

[Jens Eskildsen]

Yeah, problem is, its often around 20C in my workshop.

[declan]

@jens-eskildsen some help you are np man just let me know if you find anything out

[terry.tz]

@declan maybe it's a slight miss measure they are made in China and cost next to nothing do they measured by pressure

[declan]

@terry-tz no it's temp I think it's just the way they are set they are all like it

[terry.tz]

yea you can measure temp with pressure @declan don't know how accurate it is low temps that what made me wonder but it's probably just inaccurate at low temps dou to chinessium

[declan]

@terry-tz

[terry.tz]

what temp your bike get up to anyway

[declan]

@terry-tz no idea

[terry.tz]

@declan ???
