Product Description
A thermostat is, along with air intake, among the most vital upgrades to make to any snowbike.
Freezing ambient temperatures plus snow exposure keep the engine from properly warming up, which can cause your EFI to stay in warm-up mode, overfuelling the engine, which means making it run like crap, burning way too much gas, and accelerating engine wear or even risking damage.
Thermostat Opening Temp:
•This is the temperature your bike will be regulated to (plus or minus) (depends on other factors as well)
•We recommend 90°C for all 4-strokes - it's what bikes are designed for, so it's optimal for performance and reliability. There's no reason not to.
•2-strokes are different - they like to run a bit cooler, so 60 or 70°C is the typical choice for carbed bikes, and 70 or 80°C for TPIs
A thermostat will help the bike heat up to and maintain the hot 90C/195F temperatures it was designed for.
•Premium materials and innovative design you'd expect from C3
•Pipe thread ports in all models designed specifically to accept accessories like the Trailtech TTO Temp Gauge
•Reliable and consistent operation
•Bleed hole plus bypass line (included) ensures slow circulation until thermostat opens - then the cooling system is unobstructed and can make full use of radiators if needed, like on warm spring days
•Industry exclusive "del-ring" redundant backup seals
Comes in Black Only
Please note that the "default image" on this webpage is a housing that's used on 2014-22 YZ450F, which of course may not be what you end up ordering. That is to say, don't be concerned if the thermostat you receive doesn't look like that one.
