The hose fitting on the top of the right radiator has an outside diameter of 3/4-inch. Therefore, the inside diameter of the hoses appears to 3/4-inch. ;)

we have a fit :) |
this must be a carry over conversation from advrider. hope the bringing up the thermobob ends up being of some benefit to you guys.

I've been having to fill my reservoir twice this week. Any ideas?? I commute highway speeds each day 60 to 100 miles each weekday.

Temp readings on the NC250
In the name of scientific research I took the Zong out for a ride, with stops to measure the temperature of various parts of the engine and cooling system. Overall this was an hour of riding with a couple 3-4 minute breaks. I used an IR meter that has been pretty accurate in the past.

Note that the measurements on the left engine cover really do not show the oil temp whereas the measurements on the right engine cover do. I'm not sure why the water pump housing was hotter than the left radiator or, the one time I measured it, the right radiator. That housing must be picking up heat from the exhaust pipe. At Interstate speeds for about 15 minutes the gauge was showing two bars above the one for COLD, that changed to three bars as I slowed some. |

It seems the Thermo-Bob 3 (3/4-inch hose) is probably the best fit for the RX3. ;) |

Fahrenheit was all the rage when I was a kid, I struggle to get my head around It these days. :hmm:
Here's a chart for us UK/Europeans Attachment 6017 |

An air temp of 75f is about as good as it gets in the UK. ( I remembered that temp, didn't need my chart :D ). The evidence for "low oil temperature" is certainly building :) |
After much thought I've decided to go with plan B, the homemade bypass setup.
At the moment i've ordered a thermostat housing, which includes temp sensors & thermostat, and a set of hoses from taobao. Then when i've got measurements on the sensor holes I can order localy the bypass connectors and the hose connector bosses. Also maybe a higher temp thermostat. This way I can hopefully get it all sorted at my leasure and keep the bike running. If it all comes to nothing, I still have some handy spare parts. I think that the thermobob is really the best solution but here in the UK I have to consider shipping and customs costs which will really hike the price up. :) |
