Since purchasing the bike in July, we've not had a cold day this summer...until this weekend. I went out for a quick ride between rain storms and given the temp was about 15 - 17 C I thought I'd try and see how low I could get the temp guage to go. So, after a bit of experimentation I found that running in 5th gear at about 70KMH on a level road (real easy on the engine) the temp needle got down to 2 - 3 needle widths in the "thin" line of the temp guage below the junction of the "thick" line. So, would this rather unscientific method indicate that at this point/temparature is when the thermostat actually opens?
