I just purchased a '91 K100RS and am in the process of getting it road ready. I've just replaced the ABS, Hazard and right handlebar combo switches and now I'm trying to clean up the coolant system. I just drained the coolant and added vinegar for a flush. I started the bike to let it flow through the system and noticed the temperature gauge shows absolutely ZERO (NADA), even after running it five minutes or so. Since I'm not familiar with the K100RS, I'm not sure how quickly it should start registering. Can someone with a K100 let me know how quickly it should rise to normal in 70 degree weather? I'm going to assume it's probably broken so I'm hoping to understand the system to better fault isolate. Thanks.
As a point of mention, I can't even locate the temperature gauge in the Clymer's wiring diagram. I must be losing it.
