Finding Thermostat

Post by ForzaDave »

Hi, I made another post on the Forza 125 bit but got no replies, been having overheat problems with my bike, replaced radiator and water pump but still having the same issue. Now I think that the thermostat may not be working.

The water pump I got says it is suitable for Honda PCX, Forza and SHi but doesn't specify any year.

Looking around there's 3 different types of thermostat available. There is one that says its for 2010 - 14 pcx but the newer one 15 - 18 (same as the Forza one) is about £100 more expensive.

They both look exactly the same, bolt holes etc except the newer one has a metal type cap whereas the old is all plastic. Has anyone had to get one of these before?

Thinking to try the old one as much cheaper but don't want to waste £50 then have to buy the other anyway!

Cheers dude will have a good look through

Guess if I look at both I can see if they're the same, don't see why the thermostat would be any different other than maybe different operating temperature but I'd rather pay less for the cheaper one than paying out 150+ for the newer one. If the bolt and the bung/ seal bit fits I don't see why not.
