Those who say it cannot be done should try not to interrupt those who are doing it.

Re: what is this ??
The thermal valve controls the amount of coolant flowing through the base of the carbs and works off of heat(thermal). The one in the pic has an end broken off.rhinohorn wrote: ↑Sun Apr 11, 2021 10:12 pm i was hoping one of you guys wood know what this little thing is i got it off the line that **** from the back of the carbs,there is a water line going and **** out of the back of the carbs.. i will try to upload the pic,?goldwing.jpg, thanks u guys i know u will be able to help

Re: what is this ??
I doubt whether you will find a new one and if you do, sit down before you see the price.

I have seen them on eBay.

Re: what is this ??
My opinion is that the thermal valve only comes into play in colder weather and it should work without it as long as your not riding in colder temps. It shuts of after the motor warms up. That’s only my opinion and I’m sure others will chime in.

Re: what is this ??
It there for a reason. The valve is open when it get hot it stops the water to flow around the carbs so it may be ok if you remove it. Personally i would repair it or replace it. But if you cant do any of them. then bye pass it
I have just looked in the manual and found this. testing the valve it will close when it reaches a tempiture of 78-82c if it closes before it reaches this replace
