removing thermostat

[stumpy]

 Just wondering if anybody removed there thermostat and what the effects were? I was told to because my 600RR runs pretty hot, makes sense to remove it but wondering if anybody had problems with it...

Blocking the bypass can also help. On some bikes a significant amount of water can go through the bypass and skip the radiator. Blocking the bypass is ok if you are gutting the thermostat.
