Just to be sure, did you try tapping the connection point rivet with a small chisel to solidify the connection? Common problem.Did that, and all the other tips I read about.
Can't help on the replacement number.
Good Luck.
A bit off subject, but anyone know where to get an aftermarket temp gauge that will thread into the thermostat housing? It is almost a 10mm 1.0 pitch, but not quite. Slightly smaller.

There is an aftermarket temp sending unit available for I believe around $25 and it looks about identical to the OEM, just a tad longer and the temp at which it kicks on is like 5 or 10 degrees cooler.They're talking about the sensor for the temperature gauge, not the fan switch.
low on coolant? Gauge will read low if coolant is low.Coolant level is OK. Would a stuck thermostat allow the fan to come on when the gauge is just above white square ?
Coolant level is OK. Would a stuck thermostat allow the fan to come on when the gauge is just above white square ?Rethinkin' this out, I don't see how the stat would be stuck causing over coolong and still the fan kicks on.
I'm thinking since the fan is operating as it should then the sensor setting is off.
Any way to check to see if the thermostat is stuck with out pulling it?
Not worried about the bike it's doing just fine, just puzzled about the readings.

Bad wiring connection. Bad gauge? A "will-fit" sensor that has different voltage characteristics? A defective sensor?
OK, I bought and replaced the coolant sensor. ( the one for the gauge) It works but in riding in city traffic in 100 + temps the gauge never reached half way up on the gauge. The fan did come on as it should so every thing is working right. I'm thinking the bike is running to cool or the sensor or gauge are off and not reading true. any thoughts.
