    This may or may not help, as this info is for a FZR400, I was researching the same information for the FZR250

    Reason I mention it is because I recall finding that thermostat in the Tridon range, fading memory, but IIRC it was for something Isuzu

    On your thermostat there may be printed/stamped the temperature that it opens, or it may be in the owners/service manuals - it's probably going to be something close to 82 degrees - [don't quote me on that] - verify if possible

    Your essentials are: the diameter of the thermostat - needs to fit into the housing correctly and the temperature

    Get at least the diameter and start here

    Anywhere that sells nut/bolts and engineering stuff or bearings, belts and other affiliated car service and repair parts should be able to sort you on the o-ring

    I got a genuine thermostat from these guys but not the oring ... big mistake as my oring crumbled on removal .... I just used one from the oring jar , but it remains "untested"

    If you purchase from him , message him first to check if he can still get it with the current way of the world ..... alot of parts he orders direct from Japan after u order from him ..... so just because its listed on his site doesnt mean much .... looks like prices have risen dramatically also ... I paid $43 for mine 2 years ago
