Lewisarron0808 Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Hello to all you members I crashed my 2004 dtr lastnight going about 10mph it damaged the side panel and put I little dent on my exhaust. The bike never hit the floor I stayed onto the bike just scrapped the side on a wooden post in the dark whiles off roading, The problem I am having is that the bike tempter gauge comes on after riding around for about 10mins it want come on when riding only when It is ticking over or at some lights, but then when I set off again the light will turn off. I checked of any pipes were damaged or cracked but can't see any that are also top re coolent up Any help would be great people Cheers Lewis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finnerz89 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Is the water pump running? You should be able to hear it up close or feel the vibration. Also is the radiator damaged? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
