I don't want to belabor this thread but........I do wish Honda had a bar type gauge similar to the current fuel gauge setup. Can the current electronics detect a slow warmup condition?
Thermostats in years past seemed prone to sticking open undetected, too frequently in my experience, but cannot be detected on a motorcycle, as far as I know, without a gauge.
Slow warmup, if ever with a stuck stat, will age an engine and oil considerably. Our ST13, remember dduelin, had a bar type gauge. I may look into one for the NC. My Motus has a temp gauge.
