KIC Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 Last night on my way home form a friend's I noticed that my temp gauge was dropping lower than normal when i was slowly accelerating. As I played with it, I found that upon fast acceleration the needle would drop to the bottom of the gauge. This would not occur if I revved the engine, only upon acceleration. Then when I drove up my driveway into the garage it dropped to the bottom with a quick burst of speed, but not a good rev. What the heck ??????? .
GeorgeS Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 1. Loose wire on temp sensor 2. Bad temp sensor 3. Defective Gauge assembly. Most likely the wire is loose on the temp sensor !! :detective:
Neil86 Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 Typically its #1 on GeorgeS list. The sensor connector is a bullet type, remove, squeeze slightly, reattach.
KIC Posted July 18, 2014 Author Posted July 18, 2014 Thanks guys. I checked the wire and it did seem loose. I am going to ride the bike today and will see if it works correctly. Thanks
KIC Posted July 18, 2014 Author Posted July 18, 2014 That seemed to be the issue. Rode it quite a bit today... even though it is 105 degrees :scorched:outside, and the temp gauge stayed pretty steady at 3/4 of the gauge. Thanks again.
Yammer Dan Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 The Yamaha shop would have charged you about 2 hrs worth of labor for that one. The Hardley shop would have still been looking!!
