has anyone bypassed the coolant hoses to the throttle bodies on f4i?

[richd3000]

Has anyone tried just caping off where the lines come off the thermostate housing and do away with the lines going to the fast idle wax unit in the tb? Will this cause it to idle high all the time or idle normal all the time? I wouldn't mind if it just didn't idle fast when cold.

I'm not sure how similar f4 and f4i are in that area, but my f4 also has coolant hoses to the carbs and it doesn't idle faster by it self when cold..

Otherwise:

1. The hoses are there for a reason, leave 'em.
or
2. Take them of and see what happens.

They go to wax unit that idles the bike up high when cold to warm up quickly. I wanna make it to where I can remove the tb easier without spilling coolant. -tryn to make my f4i easier to work on like my kawi...

why would you want to bypass them. did i miss something? just jam a bolt in them to keep from losing coolant. cooler fuel = mopowa

im sure you could just run the lines together to keep the coolant flowing with a plastic barb fitting from vatozona
