Re: VFR400 rebuild
It's all located on the right hand side, just behind the top radiator.
I think you'd get a reading if you had a air bubble in there, but doubt it if the rads aren't topped up.
Takes a while for my gauge to reach 70 when just idling, maybe 5-10 minutes.

Re: VFR400 rebuild
Thermostat is part of the thermostat housing on the right side of the engine. Temp guage will only go up as the bike heats, there's not particular time period it'll take. It takes as long as it takes.

got rejected for the 2 diff benifits i tryed claiming for, the first was because im not up to scratch with my NI contributions!! go figure, who is!? lol
and the other, income base support, if your parnter is earning over £111 a week then your not intiled to that either!! she is on basic maternity with a 7 week old kid at a rate of £127 ish. fking joke!!
iv been advised to start claiming job seekers now by the jobcenter team!! lol im not fking seeking work! iv got work, just cant do it!
systems to shit and useless , had no income for nearly 7 weeks in total now, as i was quiet 2-3 weeks before the accident....
least housing benift has told me they can pay 600 of my 650 rent a month, back dated to the accident ....
but have no income what so ever coming in right now.....
