Yes, I have read about that issue on Triumphrat.net and I cured the
annoying warning light by removing said offending bulb. :-)
There is surely a lot of good information in these responses. I was
just curious to see if anybody here had done this (T-stat removal) on
a bike and what the results were. I have often thought about doing it
to my DRZ-S, but that bike makes a lot of short trips, so I figured
that I'd leave it in.
The cooling system on the T-Bird seems to work just fiine, it just
seems a bit marginal in size.
Anyway, I bought some water wetter type stuff to try. I'm sure that
there are lots of opinions on this stuff....
Thanks for all of the responses!
