Thermostat source

Is there an alternative thermostat for the Rocket $50.00 seems a bit over priced to me even for Triumph.

I have to ask since my 06 and 07 have the original Thermostat in them why do you think your 2013 is bad?

Doesn't open until temp reaches 215 degrees that seems a bit high to me.

The water pump went at 23000 miles .

I run soluble oil in all my vehicles that are liquid cooled. This keeps water pump seals lubricated and thermostats opening and closing like they should.

You can use oil labeled for the purpose or use cutting oil used for machining. An ounce or two should do the rocket.

Thanks Dalan,for the info.Talked to the service manager over in Daytona about the temperature 215f to219 f is normal.he seems to be a decent guy .he is service mgr. and top mechanic also .local shop (Ridenow) I wouldn't let change a bicycle tire.

So what about a lower temp thermostat for the Rocket ? I put one in my Porsche because the factory thermostat was set very hot for emissions purposes.

Do you still have the old pump ? I'd pay the shipping if I could have it. I'm trying to come up with a methode to repair them. Fred
