We have fitted the Thermostasis oil thermostat to our Europa Monowheel Classic (XS cowl). It
has made no difference to the oil temperatures. Has anyone else any experience of this or related installation?

Hi! Martin ,
Have you checked the oil temperature sender by any chance ?
I was about to fit a thermostatic guismo since mine never gets sufficiently
hot but was considering getting a replacement temp sender first to be sure I
knew where I was starting from.
Regards

Hi Glen,
I have the same thermostsis thermostat and I have the feeling that it has quite a high bypass rate as the oil still does not get warm very quickly.

The only explanation I can think of for the ineffectiveness of the Thermostasis thermostat is that the resistance to flow of the oil cooler is so low that the open thermostat valve passes very little oil. Thus there would be little or no bypass effect when the thermostat is cold.
One solution to this would be to increase the resistance of the cooler circuit, which is anyway providing too much cooling. Would it be permissable to insert a flow restrictor into the cooler hose, and if so, how small?
