    Just wondering after taking it out and putting the silicon hoses on should I do something to restrict the flow a little.
    Because in cars if u take out the thermostat water flows to fast and doesn't stay in radiator long enough to cool it.
    I just don't want to cook it

    2009-2010 don't have em so cant see an issue unless you riding in real cold/below freezing conditions. don't do anything for hot weather aside from warm up from cold(get engine up to temp quicker). they do bugger all for the opposite temperature scale(when engines up to temp they just stay open i believe). mx bikes don't have em. these engines run fairly cool, takes a bit to cook em ive found, gotta really be abusing the clutch in hot weather with no airflow(hillside etc)

    Tinken is right on.

    That myth drives me nuts. Maximum flow velocity is good. Everybody knows this, they just don't realize it; you never turn a fan speed down when it's hot so that your body has more time to cool off in the air. ;)
