After doing a bit of research, I see the stock thermostat in the KLR650 is removed during the installation of the Thermo-Bob. The Thermo-Bob bypass includes an automotive thermostat set for a higher temperature. The Thermo-Bob allows coolant to circulate bypassing the radiators before its thermostat opens. The early flow of coolant in the Thermo-Bob bypass is designed to allow the engine to reach ideal operating temperature more quickly, and to prevent the coolant from forming hot spots in the cylinder.
