ar22 Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 (edited) I have noticed that our 125 runs as soon as the bike is started I presume this is not normal should I change the stat or is it ok to run all the time ?

I would check the Thermo-Switch in the radiator. Unplug one wire and see if the fan stops. If so, the switch may be shorted to run all the time.

ar22 Posted February 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 got the new switch havnt removed the old one yet any idea how its fitted looks like it just pops in does the old one just get levered off with a screw driver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony27 Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 If the switch is in the radiator it screws in, if it's in a housing midway along the the hoses then to remove it you need to open up the metal clip piece then pull out the switch. Replacing it is as simple as pushing back into the rubber sleeve & closing the clip back up. Did the switch come with a new sleeve & clip or do you need to reuse the original?

Did the switch come with a new sleeve & clip or do you need to reuse the original? its the one for the pipe yes it came with the housing, thats what confused me initially I presumed, open the two clips and pull it out (or screw it out ?), then it arrives complete and no obvious way of the housing attaching seems to have a lipped o ring which must just pop into the hose fitting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony27 Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Sounds to be how I remember, use all the new parts to be safe. When you open the clips you need to twist it to remove it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
