Overheating - Triumph Sprint ST 1050 :-(

[shiftyblake]

• Coolant slightly low so topped up
• Checked rad level and topped up
• Water running round rad (can see through rad cap) when warm
• Fan working

But still overheating !!!!!!!!

Krap on front of radiator, jammed thermostat ?

[shiftyblake]

I reckon the thermostat is sticking so will order a new one.

[Burbler]

Did you get it sorted ? Mines playing silly b*****s now.

[shiftyblake]

Yes, thermostat was sticking so brought a new one and all was ok afterwards (sold bike now, and brought a ZZR) loved the triumph

£ 35 ... Kinell, thought I'd get a radiator for that !!

[shiftyblake]

Brilliant! No that would make your eyes water !!!!

[Burbler]

Drained and flushed. New gold & platinum thermostat, lovely new coolant...let's see if that makes her happier.

[shiftyblake]

I bet it will

I bet it will

You win your bet O Shifty One. 8° lower in general riding and takes a lot longer to get to fan temperature when stationary. Happy as Larry.
