Hi tinbarreiro,

Your a life saver! thanks for the info. i know what to look out for now.
So the dash does not show H and C until it reaches the temperature. then rises with the bars.
I'll let it idle for 20mins on the weekend and time it and report back if my C comes on then the bars rise. I'll time it also.
I know when i let it idle for a fair few minutes the fan was coming on and off but no temperature was reading, but i do not know
how long i had it idling.

Thanks again for the info tinbarreiro.

Thanks tinbarreiro,

That would be helpful if you could let me know. Does your display say H for hot and C for cold once turned on then the temperature bars rise?
As you can see on this one I'm working on it only shows the temperature icon next to where the guage should be.
ive gave the quad a good ride and ticking over. the fan cycles on and off but literally no bars appearing and also no display of H for Hot and C for cold.

Thanks

Thanks,

After about 3 seconds that's what appears.

Thanks NMKawierider,

It's just strange how the H for hot and C for cold is missing too. I'd have thought if it was the sensor it'll still show the H and C but no bars.
I'll try a new sensor also. If you've got any more suggestions it'll be greatly appreciated haha.

Thanks for the help.

Hi NMKawierider,

Thanks for the reply.
So I turn the ignition on but don't start the quadbike and it'll show every symbol including the gauges for about 3 seconds(picture attached) then the temperature gauge disappears and only shows the temp icon to the side.
It's stumbling me! I'm good with cars and vans etc but this is the first quad I've worked on.
I've gave the quad a full service and I was told it overheats and the fan doesn't come on so I changed the thermosensor and now that works. From what I've been told the temp gauge hasn't been showing the past 6 weeks.
It's not something I'm use to working on so  I'm not sure what to look out for. With it being Chinese built I'm hoping it's something simple! Haha.

Thanks

Hello,

How do I get the temperature gauge up when the machine is running?
That is all what shows.
Usually there's bars that I know of that shows the guage. It shows when you turn the ignition but as soon as you turn it on it's not there?

Thanks

About to service a friends CF MOTO 450 quadbike. First quadbike working on so any advice welcome.
What coolant would you recommend? All i know is the current coolant is green. I presume with it being a mostly aluminum components it will need a specific coolant.
Link attached is my thoughts? many thanks.
