Review on MOCW Pressure Temperature Motorcycle Models 1 8 by Dexter Rasberry

Bought because it was a 1.8 bar radiator cap with temperature sensor. I currently have a 1.6 bar Tusk radiator cap that works fine on my Honda CRF 250X without overboiling. I have a Factory Effex temp strip that works fine but is hard to see while driving. I thought this radiator cap would be the perfect combination of the two. The sentence was good. The temp reading seems accurate as it matches my Factory Effex temp scale and is fairly easy to read. It was nice to be able to control the coolant temperature while driving, which ranged between 150 and 200 degrees Fahrenheit. However, when I stopped and my bike was idling, it boiled at 225 degrees. It was new because it had never happened before. Since I'm using a 50/50 antifreeze mixture, that means the radiator cap wasn't holding pressure. Thank goodness my bike has an overflow tank to boil off the coolant. After my bike had cooled down, I put my old 1.6 bar radiator cap back on and off we went. I repeated what I had done before and while idling my bike's temperature rose to 230 degrees with no loss of coolant. While I was very happy with the readability and temperature accuracy while driving, I'm very disappointed that it doesn't fulfill its primary function (as a high-pressure radiator cap). Since other customers have commented positively, this may indicate a quality control failure. I cannot recommend this product based on my personal experience.
