Very interesting ! thank you for that !
I'd be interested to see what you come up with as a bypass for the bike !
.....
the Thermo-Bob unit is a complex unit that actually opens and closes the bypass circuit as it opens up the regular cooling system that valve arrangement
might be hard to come up with for the DIY crowd... it actually sounds like your right on it.... it may well be worth the investment of a thermo-Bob unit
just to have the bike stay at a constant tempiture !
The problem is where would you put it.... when all is said and done there is very little room to do anything on the Ninja... the stock thermostat housing is right under the gas tank and there isn't much room there and I am sure the Thermo Bob unit is a bit bigger than the stock one. plus there is an extra hose
that needs to be plumbed in there....
.... I have no doubt it would be better for the engine... but getting it on the bike
might take some doing.... because there is very little room
....
Please Let us know what you come up with !
....
Bob.......
