take 2: temperature guage question

[Just Anne]

Please can anyone explain why the temperature guage on my lad's Aprillia Peagio works when it's on the side stand but not when it's upright?

Sorry about take one of this question, android phone opperator error :o

That would be down to Italian electrics  :evil

[robby boy]

Is there water in the radiator/engine? could be on the side stand the water is touching the transmitter bit upright it is not, if that makes sense.

Could just be a bad connection on teh dodgy itallian electrics or lack of water covering the sensor.

Thank you, I'll have a better look.
