    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
    run-it and PaulC like this.

    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

    Yes, your testing showed the cut-in temp for the fan
    The dash "bars" show the engine temp
