3Vd Thermostat Housing Wanted - Pedro - 16-10-2023
Well well well..... after years of smugly reading other owners woes of the famous warping thermostat housing, mine has started to ejaculate itself. I know they're as rare as truthful politician but would anyone be able to point me in the direction of where I might be able to locate a good one?

Gracias

Ewe can normally sealant up the lid (and treat to a new o-ring if you feel like it), especially if its only just started to banana. Just replacing the o-ring won't do oubt useful.
Think I fitted a 4TX thermo..or 4TX lid or summat. Was a bit of modding but the job was a carrot.

4tx lid is what I've got on at the mo. The original one was really warped.i presume you can't get those lids new anywhere. I've seen a photo of an XJ6 lid and it looks similar but dunno if I'd risk ordering on a hunch.

I also made a clamping bracket that worked until the lid distortion got real bad. It is a terrible design.
Yamaha sell the housing i think... not the lid!!

I'm tryring to upload a photo of the XJ6N thermostat housing lid but for some reason I can't. Just getting a message Uploading not Allowed. I'll try again a bit later

CSML says the cover is available at £37 and also lists the 4TX the same as the 5PS. 900.

Thanks for the heads up Cateeclan. Looked on the site, 60 euros! I've got a couple of used ones lined up, if they're no good I might have to stump up.

I often have a look on there as once you find the part it'll tell you what other vehicles it'll fit. Bloody handy when searching used.
