Is my thermostat working?
I have recently had a problem with my 2001 f650gs. The engine temp light comes on within 10-15 minutes of driving and the fan comes on within 5 minutes of driving. This led me to believe that the thermostat may not be opening. So I pulled the thermostat and put it in hot water to see if it opens. The water temp in the pot went up to 220 Fahrenheit but nothing appeared to move in the thermostat. Right now the pin at the end of the thermostat is sticking out approximately 2 cm. Is is open or closed? I would assume it to be closed but I am not sure what the open position is either. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you for your replies
