   Had an S conversion done and since then the temp guage doesn't get up to half way to show it's warmed up properly like it used to, is this normal on a vts or a conversion? it does go up, but for it to be at half i have to sit in one place and rev the engine loads so it isn't getting as much air while working.

   Is the rad fan always on...? Aslong as it comes out of cold idle it will be fine. Mine is the same sits being half at 100% mine sits at about 60-70% never been on half but my fan is always on.

   It's not on constantly, but it does kick in.

   Lol its fine mate, when you start it from cold should idle at about 1200 when warm about 750-800rpm so just check next time your out.
