Hi,
I was able to get to the temperature testing and would like to post the results.
This is to establish a numerical temperature to the bars that we see on the temperature indicator gauge.
Bar 1 on =123 deg off = 122 deg
Bar 2 on=136 deg off= 134 deg
Bar 3 on= 150deg off= 149 deg
Yes the 4th bar works- I disconnected the fans- I have never seen the 4th bar in normal operation in the 72K that I have ridden.
Bar 4 on=230 deg off= 226 deg
I did not push the test to the 5th bar
I used a thermocouple installed about 1/8? away from the Honda temperature sensor- inside the thermostat housing, behind the thermostat. I wanted to see the exact temperature that the computer was reading.
My observations------
The scale is very non-linear 1>2= 13 deg 2>3 14 deg 3>4= 80 deg
The 150 deg of the 3rd bar is lower than I expected.
Thanks Tom
