    it should fit flat wiht the notch lined up to the little pin inside the hole.. thinjk its upside down in the pic. wont fit any other way..

    there is a ,little booklet with your kit that shows you.

    yeah the little notch is lined up, the pic says it goes in that way, ive kinda forced it in now and it seems ok

    dont know if i want to risk it being forced in and all, might run it wihout it, when my bike actually idles by itself i leave it to warm up for ages anyway

    what u recon i should do?

    cheers dave :D


    il go take it out now


    just out of interest how long do you usually leave it idling before driving?


    as i know it will usually take longer to warm up without the thermostat

    i warm the engine by rideing it gently for the 1st few miles ;)
