Default ODP Water Pump How much Temp Drop?

Dragon, they have always been water cooled. But I was using it as a comparison, not that its the same, but its close.

Dsnut, no need to judge your character, thats not me. Plus your presence on this forum shows it just fine.

SLC650, its a funny thing, its always the people that have the "OTHER" thing that claim its usless. Its the same old rant, my bike rocks and yours sucks. Childish behavior at best. I am with you completely, as I run the shrouds and think they helped alot.

But what everyone is not thinking about, is the times when its slow and go, when there is not alot of air movement, is when this thing was designed to work best. Move more water at low rpms. The thermostat was stated as a flow control. And that is correct to a point. Once water is heated to the thermostats full open point, it does nothing but slow the flow. Now if you have this water trickling through the system at low rpms, its not moving enough to cool it. That was Markys theory with the product. My old machine an 03', hardly ever had the fan come on. But my 03'motor in my 2000 chassie, the light came on alot. And even worse, my brothers 04' fan is always on, always. Heck my fathers inlaws 04' is always on. Do I think the stock setup is good? Yes. Do I think it can be made better? Absolutly. So to say a product cannot be improved apon, is ignorance. Is it the cureall? I dont think so. Is it another link to help solve a problem that some of these bikes have? Yes.

Not everyone is going to buy it. If your dont think it works, thats fine, dont buy it.
