I have never understood the deal with wanting a temp gauge dipstick.

If you think you are running hot, why not spend your money on something to correct the problem?

For not much more than $27, you can do this

{XR200 with Lifan power}

See the wrapped header? Ceramic header wrap, 1in width X 50ft, about $30, and a couple stainless steel hose clamps, available at many local auto parts stores. I run it on all my bikes. Do not get 2in width, doesnt wrap well on small diameter pipes.

No sense in allowing heat already exhausted to radiate back into the engine through the right side "cooling" fins... Wrap the pipe past the carb, hot fuel reduces performance.

Can you touch your header after an aggressive ride? Dont try it! I can, and my bike is a 400
