Weird temp problem on my F4i On my F4i I've had a problem with the temperature on it
On my F4i I've had a problem with the temperature on it since I got it. It'll jump around.. Like.. it'll go 140..160..142..220..184.. etc

I've changed the temp sensor on both the radiator and the thermostat and even the whole thermostat. I've tried another set of gauges and even another ECU. It doesnt seem to affect the way the bike runs or anything but it's just annoying me.

Any ideas as to what it may be?

haha, I knew you'd be the first to reply.

It really doesnt affect anything but it just frustrates me that I cant fix it more than anything

you replaced the thermo switch on the thermostat correct? not the fan switch on the radiator..

Would the harness really affect something like temp?
