    I have no idea when it comes on, but common sense would say 200 would be a good time to watch it close and 215 would be time to shut it down.

    trailtech vapour its slightly on the expensive side but does everything such as speed,air temp,coolant temp,rpm,shift lights stop watch, run time, trip meter its really worth it, keep an eye on my tri z astro kit thread i will be updating that once i have it all installed

    If it's the same sending unit yamaha used on the 87 Inviter, which was a liquid cooled 300 cc snowmobile it will come on seconds after the plastic water pump impeller melts

    I just downloaded a Tri-Z manual from the link you posted (Thank you, by the way), and found your answer on pg. 5-13. The switch should have continuity, and turn on the light, at more than 105 +/- 3 degrees C (221 +/- 37.4 degrees F). As the coolant cools down, the switch should lose continuity, and turn off the light, at less than 98 degrees C (208.4 degrees F).

    You're welcome. Yamaha put out a quality manual, very detailed. I'm impressed. Thanks again for the download.

    Good point, I would agree that Yamaha manuals are amongst the easiest to navigate.
