The six wire thing ... By: trailbusterbrute. on 25 Nov 08, 02:15:38 The six wire thing is a common problem, but an easy fix. If you are going to use it like that I suggest pulling apart every connector you can find and coating the terminals with dielectric grease. I kept the coolant, changed the thermostat for one that fits a 1980's V65 Magna. A test of the t-stat revealed that it was opening at 10% hotter (in Celsuis) than it should. Added a temp gauge, too. Runs at 200 degrees on the hottest days, now. Just right.

Warm-up on these carbed Brutes is pretty essential if you want to ride it within a reasonable time after starting it. But yes, removing the 'stat will help in the summer.
