I have an LTR450 and I just fitted this trailtech vapor computer thing but the coolant temp sender that goes in the coolant hose is to small for the hose, just wondering if anyone else has had this happen and what should I do?

I got it from ATV unlimited they are in america and so I emailed them the other day but i think they are still on weekend. and i dont think it should have stretched that much, I'd rather not risk it.

i dont think it restrict it too much and if it did it would show on the temp reading its up too u but if it was me id just tighten them up unless they are way too small then u would prob change the hose to suit but from remembering on my ltr it'll be fine
stewy

yes, crank it down tight. you will know if it is too much restriction as you new trailtec vapor will tell you that it is getting hot. The other thing you can do is split the hose up the side and make it smaller. eek
