Here in Honolulu, the traffic is getting worse. In turn, my KLR650 gets pretty hot when idling which makes me hotter than I need to be. Here is the question: can I permanently remove my thermostat? It never gets below 56 degrees and never above 92 here, so would it be safe. From my understanding, the water is kept from flowing all the time by the thermostat because because the engine needs a minimum operating temperature in cold weather. I'd like for it to be able to have cooler water running constantly, if possible to do without causing harm in some other way. Is there another use for it?
Thanks for the help!
