The thermostat housing in a motorcycle is a component that encloses the thermostat and directs coolant flow through the engine's cooling system. It is typically mounted on the engine or the cylinder head. The thermostat housing is designed to regulate the engine's temperature by controlling the flow of coolant to the radiator based on the engine’s heat. It ensures that the engine reaches and maintains the optimal operating temperature, promoting efficient performance and preventing overheating. Made from materials like aluminum or plastic, the housing also features an inlet and outlet for coolant connections.
