[QUOTE="canuckxxxx, post: 192839, member: 2409"] I went for a 300 km ride the other day. Temperatures in the 60F at the beginning and warming up t 70F by the end. Bike ran great the whole time but I noticed that the temp gauge only went about half way of the normal range. When I got home I was checking it over and found that the hand valve in the hose that feeds coolant to my intake manifold was turned completely off. [GALLERY=media, 23456][/GALLERY] That explains why the temp gauge was reading low because I had to relocate the gauge sensor to the branch that feeds coolant to the manifold and since I had coolant flow shut off there was no hot coolant going past it. [GALLERY=media, 26807][/GALLERY] So now I'm thinking heating my manifold, at least during mild weather, is not needed. :headscratch: This might be due to the small intake ports in the 1200 heads along with my smallish manifold runners as well as the long duration/low lift 1200 cams which are supposed to promote high intake velocity. I tried turning coolant off when I was running the 1100 engine and it did not run this good. Next thing I want to do is try and compare power and gas mileage with and without manifold heat. [/QUOTE]
