won't warm up!!!

[mrgrimm]

Well my temp. gause only goes about 3/8 way up and takes a lot longer to get to even that. Used to ride about 1/2. I'm thinking thermostat stuck open, any other opinions? How likely is it that the temp. gauge may not be working correctly, all gauges are OEM in the dash.

anyone? I'm gonna put in a t-stat in a couple days...I think a 195* comes factory, thermostat info says a 203* is better...what do ya'll think.

had a similar problem with mine years ago, replace the stat and the engine warmed up better. i would personally go with whatever is stock.

temp gauge should be working right is the heater blowing real hot or no if it aint i would go with thermostat

heater doesn't really blow hot unless on the interstate and running about 2,000 rpm for a bit...guess I'll be putting in a thermostat.
