Honda magna v30 thermostat

I'm having some trouble with my bike overheating. I was wondering if
just pulling the thermostat is a totaly bad thing. I know it's
probably necessary if running in cold wether but I don't run unless
it's warm out. So you know I've checked the obvious such as spark
plug gap (gapped to what clymer spcified but that manual seems to give
inacurate info on occasion) and fan but have yet to check the temp
sensor and have not actually pulled the thermostat. One more thing
the temp guage seems to fluctuate what seems to be abnormally but
mostly gets really close to the redline at idle after running a
while. By the way thanks all of you for answering my previous posts.

 

And at that point, is the fan running? If not, it's likely that the temp
sensor switch is bad.
You didn't mention it but I assume you have checked the coolant level ????
On some bikes, low coolant will not heat the switch properly and the fan
won't run when it should.

 

Why would you think removing the thermostat is going to make your
bike stop overheating? If your thermostat is working it's already
fully open before the temperature gauge gets to the "Hot" zone.

Hint: bikes that are working normally, with a good thermostat
installed, do not normally overheat. Find what's wrong with your
engine and fix it. Believe it or not, running too cool can damage
your engine.

 

What?

What has this got to do with the OP?

 

Well, tapping the oil warning light is widely known to restore oil
pressure, isn't it?

 

But is the thermostat working? You can try running the bike without the
thermostat, and if that solves the overheating, then you know you need a
new thermostat.
