Hello

Still ploding along with the track bike, its got standard rads, just ran her up and took about 20mins to reach 90 deg so im guessing the thermostat is stuck open.Was just wondering as its going to be a track bike only is it worth worrying about a new thermostat or fan as taking it off would also save a bit of weight?

I'd remove it. Whether or not you fit a lightweight fan is up to you but you shouldn't need one racing in the UK unless your bike runs hot by nature.

NO fan! Waste of time on a race/trackbike.

Total loss too...
