motorcycle water temp gauge

Air cooling and water cooling refer to the cooling mode of the engine. The engine will generate high heat during operation. Generally, domestic motorcycles cool the engine by the air volume of the vehicle itself during driving. The higher the driving speed, the greater the air volume.

However, it is not enough for engines with large displacement to rely only on air volume. Therefore, a water channel is installed inside the engine to cool the engine by water flow. The water flow is circulating. There is a water tank outside the engine. The function of the water tank is to recirculate the hot water inside the engine to the engine after cooling by air, so that the engine will not lose its working capacity due to too high temperature.

In addition to high temperature weather, fan overload operation and cooling element failure will also raise the water temperature. The display of the water temperature gauge will be high. Overall inspection of the cooling system is the primary method to prevent excessive water temperature. Check whether the fan is normal, whether the water tank is leaking, and whether there is a lack of coolant. If the water tank is leaking, it needs to be repaired or replaced in time. If the water tank is lack of fluid, it needs to be supplemented in time. If the coolant is turbid and deteriorated, it needs to be replaced.

The motorcycle water temperature gauge is on all the time. It is estimated that it is water-cooled. It should be filled with coolant. If it is air-cooled, it should be shut down for rest and cooling.

It is also possible that the water temperature is too high, or the thermostat is broken. The water temperature gauge of the water-cooled motorcycle fluctuates from high to low. It is likely that the gauge itself is broken or its wiring is in poor contact, because the water temperature is unlikely to change too fast. Check the water temperature gauge and wiring first. The water temperature gauge flashes all the time. It should be caused by lack of water or air. It is recommended that you go to the maintenance shop to add water or exhaust gas for maintenance. Otherwise, you will regret pulling the cylinder. It is also possible that the water pipe is blocked. If the water pipe is not blocked, there is a problem with the water temperature sensor, or the water temperature gauge is broken.
