I have successfully 'engineered' my own simple alternative to a Thermostat.... Posted in the 'Thermostat Delete' Thread because that is exactly what it is. http://www.cafehusky.com/threads/thermostat-delete.79712/page-5#post-560427 Happy now !!
Beyond any discussion of changes to the radiator etc, Husqvarna has done owners no favours by only listing a complete radiator part number The thermostat is a Wahler model 3143 and used on Audi, Seat, VW and Skoda, Part No's are 032 121 110 B & 032 121 110 P It is used on the BMW bike models below. K1200S/1300S, K1200R/GT, F650/700/800 Twins, C600 Sport & C650GT Scooters K1200RS/LT/GT. The BMW Part No is 17 11 1 464 985 The full Wahler after market Audi/Seat/VW/Skoda part number is 3143.87D, the 87 indicates it opens at 87 degree C. The BMW part opening temperature is unknown but the spring is stronger. A check of the unit as fitted to the Terra should show the temperature it operates at
Wayne, I understand as a closing temperature, rather than opening - as the thermostat is a bye-pass set-up
You are referring to the temperature the dash warning lamp comes on, not the thermostat "operating" temperature, I am merely giving you the spec here
