does anyone know if you can totally remove the thermostat and make it run cooler or will this help at all? has anyone tried this yet,if so how did it work out? my dealer has emailed Bombardier and asked them but i guess their too busy to reply to their customers or maybe they just dont know>

 

no the ds wont run cooler !! it will run hotter !! the collant will not have time to cool before returning into the motor ...there is a few additives that will help ....and try installing shrouds !! my two cent's .....good luck!

 

I have shrouds on mine and I still run hot. I'm thinking of trying an additive, but I don't want to risk any damage.

 

biggy is right on the money. There is a reason Bomb put in the thermostat and it wasn't to make the DS run hotter. Never remove the thermostat.

 

I`m looking into finding a lower temp one.If I find one I will let you know.For Hondas CBR 600 F3 ther stock one went for $45.I found one for under$10 and it was 20 degrees cooler.You can try taking the center out,but you have too set and warm it up like a two stroke.

 

Lower temp doesent mean lower engine temps you might even suffer from higer engine temps ....if the engine runs hotter then the stat it will just stay open continusly..and run hotter..most of the time over heating is being caused by a failure of a part ..not a design fault! look else were for your problem....my 2 cent's

 

I hate to say that I am a non-beliver in this no thermostat making the DS run hotter. Makes no sense to me, I've run cars with no thermostat and the run very cool. I don't see why this wouldn't be true for the DS ? I live in canada where thermostats are very important.... for heat, to get the motor (and coolant) hotter so the occupant will have heat.

The only thing I can see happening (benificial) is when the motor coolant gets hot enough to open the thermostat there is a nice initial "quench" of cold coolant come in from the rad. but this should only be short lived and would be like having no theremostat once it is opened.

I don't see why the thermostat would close again riding. The motor and coolant are all hot. Or does it?

I'm just trying to figure this out. Sorry if it sounds ignorant.

 

guys go check out engine ice you can get it from rocky mountain atv for about 15 bucks or so but its well worth it...it cools the temp 50 degrees better then reg antifreeze and is biodegratable
