Does anybody offer a lower temp thermostat for a Gen 1? I don't know if Gen 1 and Gen 2 use different temp thermostats.
Also, does the computer richen the fuel mix when the motor is running cooler than it normally would with the engine warmed up ?
I assume it does when cold starting but that isn't what I looking for here.
As an example... 180 thermostat and the engine is running around 190 F. If you drop the coolant temp to 170 will the computer use a richer map to compensate to the lower temperature?

Most of the time... especially when I am out twisting the throttle! Just looking for information that leads me to believe their are a few easy ponies to find with lower engine temps and the computer compensating with a richer mix. My bike is stock except for the Yosh pipe so far. As I understand most engines in general have max fuel economy is around 14.7 on the air fuel mix. Max power is usually around 12.5. I am just looking for more fuel without tampering with anything else besides the thermostat... if... the old gen 1 computer will accomodate me here. I am here to ask and learn to find out what I can. Next time I pull out the thermostat I am going to measure its physical dimensions and start looking for something from another application that might give me what I am looking for. I don't have an over heating problem. I have fresh refill of Blue ice and Muzzy fan already installed. My journey with the Busa is just beginning ( my 2nd ) while decades of experience are out there with countless hours of tuning and modifications evolving every week in the aftermarket Busa business . I am willing to bet their are more than just a couple secrets out there that the gurus have learned from experience and trial and error. I know for a fact in my LT5 all aluminum car engine you gain about 1 hp for every degree you drop the engine temp. Since our engines are all aluminum... you surely understand my curiousity.
