    The 300 comes stock with a thermastat which is only used for road use. I have been told by a couple of guys that birchy recommends removing it. Can ya back that up Chris?

    I still have 10 weeks before im riding again so I can do little random things to the bike haha.

    Amping to hit some gnarly stuff dan!

    Don't be surprised if the engine runs hotter with the thermostat removed. Water can pass through an engine too fast to pickup heat, if the water pump is any good. Came across this problem years ago on a 350 chev powered speedway saloon car. Despite custom radiators, 100% glycoshell coolant, electric fans and other demon tweaks, the engine boiled over every race. Put everything back to stock - standard chev thermostat, standard chev waterpump, J1 bedford radiator, standard fan with decent shrouds to direct the airflow and plain water for cooling, and the car never boiled again.
    it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
    those cheap ass bitches can do anything with ductape.
