not to sure witch section to put this in but as the temp gage is electrical in a way i placed it hear is iv serched and could only find collent problems
well at first i thought it was cos my head gasket was gone but im not sure now iv changed the gasket and now it doesnt spit water out.
when i turn my igniton on the temp gage moves up to the green line but the bike can be runing for hours and it stays at the green line the bike hasent overheadted yet so it seems to be runing right but i havent a clue why it doestnt work im pritty sure its all wired up correctly any info would be much help XD (i no it isent really important but im used to a bike with no temp gage and non of the gages working but i want my dt to all work XD)
It should move mate when you turn the ignition on? then it makes me wonder why would it move anymore up if everythings how it should be, drain the water out LOL then ride it see the gauge going up then
i had to replace the sensor on top of the head with a new one. luckily i had a spare one.
take the sensor out and give it a good clean. then dip the end in boiling hot water from kettle with the sensor wire attached and your ignition on... if gauge still not moving your sensor is buggered.
the earth for that circuit is the engine ..so if you remove it from the bike it wont work anyway
take a multimeter set it to ohms ...clip it on either end of the temp sensor and drop it in some boiling hot water ..the ohms should read between 25 and 30 ohms
