I was draining my anti-freeze yesterday and when I went to put the water temp sender back in I used to much meat-head and twisted the thing off. Was able to easily easy-out it but now I have looked on 4 different online parts fiches and they all show a plug going where I have the sender. What's up with that? Anyone know what the part number is?

Thanks,

Milton S.

Thanks for the tip. Went back to the fiche and there it was. Seems like a strange place to have it.

Do you happen to have one in your spare parts bin you would be willing to part with?

PM me.

Thanks,

Milton S.

Hi, Milton,
I don't have one in my spare parts bin, but I'm glad to see I'm not the only person who has done it! I think I did it on my (first) K1100LT 7 or 8 years ago. I haven't done it since. Amazing how one learns... .
Ride Safe,

In case anyone is interested here is a picture of the internals of the water-temp sensor I twisted apart. Looks like the internal spring expands when hot and causes some resistance.
