 WATER TEMPERATURE                             Water Temperature Sensor
 SENSOR

 Remove the right side body cover and right
 footboard (refer to the "FRAME
 COVERS" section in the chapter 2).

 Disconnect the water temperature sensor
 connector.
 Remove the water temperature sensor from
 the water joint.


                                                                          Water joint
 INSPECTION
 Connect the water temperature sensor to the
 ohmmeter. Attached the standard resistance
 list as bellow then check it.
  Temperature        Standard resistance
   -20C/-4F               28.6K
   40C/104F               1.46K 
   20C/68F             3.51 K10%
  100°C/212°F            0.176 K




 After the water temperature sensor has been
 installed, fill coolant and perform air
 bleeding (refer to the "COOLANT
 REPLACEMENT" section in this
 chapter).

 INSTALLATION

 With thread lock applied to the threaded
 part, tighten the water temperature sensor.
