Glad to see the procedure to uncover the cooling system. Hot pan of water with a thermometer is only way to tell if a thermostat is working correctly or not.
Great video Tim! I am going to change my thermostat on my PC in the near future and it sure helps to see someone else do it first. Yeah man, in cool weather the temp gauge never gets very high but that changes as the seasons get warmer.
Too bad you went to so much trouble & discover the thermostat was fine. But you did a great video on how to remove the plastics, which is quite helpful. So, thanks for sharing it with us. I'm looking forward to seeing more PC800 videos from you on other projects. I need to pull the forks on my 89' to replace a leaky seal. Maybe I'll get motivated to do it over the Winter.
The secrets of the ghost on video : The bike is wonderful, but you need I very big dosis of patience, delicacy, and perseverence to do the maintenance on this two-wheeled-beauty. If you pass the plastics exam, you are already a hero.
Terrific vid! Thanks. I'm experiencing that same "needle stays low in (even) cool weather" on my '95 PC. Only gets to middle in stop and go. Trouble is on my '94 PC the thermostat worked perfectly, and in any weather, the needle came up to proper operating temperature! Go figure. Think I'll replace it anyway. I ordered the part after all! Hah!
Great video Tim. I have a 1998 PC800 and I noticed on the cool days the thermostat just barely moved to the warm part of the gauge. PC800 runs a little ruff at that temperature, but the gauge stays right there even after riding for a while. I was thinking that maybe my thermostat was stuck open also, but looking at your video and other comments I think is probably working as designed. Guess the radiator is pretty efficient. Your PC looks great, cool little faring on the back, nice replacement seat covers.
OMG I thought the Honda Helix was bad to change headlight bulb ,no wonder my local Honda dealer doesn't work on these PC any more! How many hours you spent r and r thermostat?
Nice video . Thanks . I have a PC-800 1996 won’t crank . How can I replace the carburetor . In here MD don’t do services because that said bike is to old .
Have you figured out the carb yet? I have an '89 and a '90. I have several information pages bookmarked that I will share if you want. What part of MD are you in?

When I take mine for a short run when I stop the bike it’s gurgling and the expansion bottle the water is boiling hot
Hi how did you know the thermostat was faulty
No narration and obnoxious music. So silent mode....
Awful music track, please no music in vids like this.
yes - any comment would make the video more worthy!
There's got to be some way to cheat this instead of taking the whole thing apart.
😀😀👏👏👏👏
And very pitifully that's probably the reason why it was never a selling success.
