Relatively on the same topic, does anyone know what the trigger temp is on the thermostat for an '06 636? My guess is 215°. From my familiarity with cars, that sounds like an emissions number, not a performance number (hotter engines produce better emissions). Has anyone experimented with a cooler thermostat?

 

omg! I would eat the peanuts out of her sh%t

 

lol what if it were corn night. [:'(]

 

What do you mean by trigger temp? NS, you're sick.

 

how hot do the bike need to be to trigger the fans a blowing. werd paul wall out.

 

would just be an added bonus

 

At 220 degrees my fan goes on. I bought some Engine Ice but haven't put it in yet.

 

By trigger temp, I mean at what temperature does the thermostat open up to let coolant into the engine? I know that my car's trigger temp was originally 215 degrees, which was done by the factory to help lower emissions. A common performance mod was to replace it with a 180 degree thermostat. The cooler engine ran better and had a longer overall engine life.

What I would like to know is if the same theory can be applied to my '06 636, allowing it to run cooler in traffic, and possibly improving performance. Thanks.

 

I am going to be buying my first bike in a week or so, and will have to ride it for 6 hours to get it back to my area. (i am in L.A., and the bike is in Milpitas), i'll be sure to watch out for the HOT frame!

 

yo local !! hit me up when you get your bike.
