Thermostat Delete

Sorry, too late.
All ordered and paid for Geeza and myself a few days ago... no idea if there are any units left.

Zipty unit looks well machined, but somewhat over complex for what it has to do

Still have a few more units available. Thank you, everything we make is well machined to a factory type fit.

Havnt installed mine yet, it looks too pretty to hide in the radiator.

Thank you. It was the last part I created for Husqvarna. Major controversy over it and was in part what developed to my eventual absence from ZipTy.

What? How?

The last sales manager purposely hiked the sell price of the unit without my knowledge or agreement, and killed the thermodelete sales. Then used the poor sales against me to gain control over my product development. This led to the eventual downfall of Zipty and my absence.

How sad

That sux rocks, damn I hate that sort of company politics.

I'm sorry to hear that.

The idea of the thermostat is actually to stop water flow thru' the thermostat & force it to flow thru' both halves of the radiator

That thermostat will fail and shut off the coolant completely, you won't even see the rise in temperature on your meter. Even when it's open, it restricts too much flow. The radiator works perfectly without that unreliable part.

Thanks for the updates Tinken. Given what you have said, what would be the best way to go about purchasing one of the deletes?

Zipty manufactures that part, you should be able to call them or email Kim@ziptyracing.net.

Ha... i gave up...

Yea, sorry about that, pretty embarrassing really. That's something I can no longer control. I had customers throwing money at me for these deletes and ZipTy wouldn't send them out.

They're still listed on the website.....http://www.ziptyracing.com/zipty-thermostat-delete/

...just saying. Bloody sad things turned out that way.

Not really!

Thermostat in a TR650 can only fail in the open position as it works against a spring to be closed. It cannot shut off the coolant flow completely.
When open the coolant flows across the Thermostat and straight back out of the radiator instead of going round it.
With thermostat problems, you will see a rise in the temperature on the meter (bar gauge) as it is fed from the sensor on the engine block, which will of course heat up and the Red Warnng light will also be activated.

Like I said in the other thread, go ahead and pull your thermostat out and inspect to see how it really works. I have had many of them apart and they do not function as intended.

Mark - I agree if the Thermostat fails in the open position (cold) then the motor could overheat, the dash bars will show it, also I understand the ecu has an alarm setting which would show on the dash

If the thermostat fails in the closed position (hot) the motor will run cooler, the condition might not even be noticed
