Update: I found a used thermostat and housing complete with the temp sender on fleabay for a tenner. Received it today and it looks in really good condition. Will install at the weekend and let you know results ....<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Fitted replacement thermostat assembly today, refilled system with coolant and let engine heat right up until cooling fan cut-in. All worked okay. Took bike out for a run but as before when moving, the temp gauge only reached mid-point between cold and where the lines diverge, so all seems the same as before. Filled tank to the brim and will monitor consumption, but as nothing appears any different, not now so confident that changing the thermostat was the solution to the high fuel usage?
