hey guys got a mc54 250 244 motor got the burping and fan working now temp guage don't work right turn key on guage moves up. start bike guage drops down. run for a bit guage moves to first line then drops to bottom. replaced rad sensor, temp sensor ,got me baffled there was a 6in piece of aluminum wire hooked up to a cheep Chinese connector which then ran to copper wire I took it out, was way flimsy was that a mistake or wasn't it. next thing when I get time is running a jumper wire from guage to sensor to make sure there is no breaks in line. any more ideas would help it has got us weekend riders baffled otherwise bike runs great just turned 800 miles lol only get a chance to work and ride it on weekends since we all leave our scoots at our perm campground we all go to thanks for reading all have a GREAT RIDE  |

howdy, if you ground the wire from the guage, that is , take it off the sensor and go to ground , it should peg the guage. if it does, you may have either a poor connection on the sensor , or a bad sensor.----or an extreme would be there is no water at the level of the sensor, therefore there is no temperature to measure. all this with the key on, or course.
lotsa miles and smiles to ya
