:blink: This sod has been doing my head in for ages, I have finally run out of ideas. Checked Fuse - No good Checked Wireing - No good Checked Fluids - No good what happens ? well nothing the fan never kicks in and soon as my bike gets to 120 degrees it cuts out so the oil doesn't overheat. Now I finally want to sort this out before the old mans bike comes back from adding more Bling to weigh it down! ( HAHA kidding ) So at the moment my bike is in pieces on the garage floor, seeing what needs to be done, just checked the air filter and died of shock! So ordering a new air filter, also need to get some new pads + chain + sprockets ( long over due ) But anyway whole point in this topic any more ideas about the fan ? I am watching one on Flea Bay just incase but is there another way to test the fan ? direct link to a power source ? no idea here.
If the fan is not coming on and you have already checked the fuse and any connections on the circuit (plugs come loose) then I'd suggest it is the thermostat or the fan itself Direct (temporary) feed to the fan will prove if that works, when the power is there it should come on. bypassing the thermostat is one way of testing if it works. Or if you can remove it easily and have a continuity tester you can put it in some boliling water to see if it operates
ok cheers nmfp don't have a continuity, how do i create a direct feed to the fan ? I can easily take it off.
yeah i'd defo check the thermostat, they have a tendency to seize up and don't open and the fan should kick in at a 107 failing that replace the fan it's self not the rad.
Well today for the first time I heard my Fan! woop Now for what I did : Well I don't know how this worked but after uni i went for a quick blast ( :evil: ) left the bike running in outside and allowed the bike gain 110 degreee temp then plugged the fan in and VOOOOOOOOOOM it actually came on ? I have no idea why it is working now but it is! 2 years of having the bike I finally get to hear the fan! ah well
could it of been that the fan connection plug was not making contact properly, or has it now stopped working again when left connected?
It was connected properly but didnt work, so I disconnected it took it upto 110 degree plugged it in and it worked ? no idea why but nm it all works now so i am happy
