temperature sending unit failure?
Posted: Mon Jul 25, 2005 10:05 pm
The temperature gage on my son's '90 KLR650 immediately goes to the
maximum temperature indication as soon as you turn on the key. I
checked the FAQ and could not find anything about this problem. This
happens with the bike cold or at the normal operating temperature.
The temperature sensor on top of the head reads 500 Ohms when the bike
is stone cold. Is this correct? We don't want to buy a $30+ non
returnable electrical part until we know it is the problem.
I would appreciate any info you'all can provide since we don't have
a service manual. Thanks for any help you can give, Greg
