Fan not working .. Tests?

Post by nazzurro_19 » Thu May 24, 2012 1:31 pm

Ive been out and about on the bike all day today and while riding bikes sat around 90° , i then went to my garage and while unlocking the door left the bike to idle , i came back to the bike and notices the temp needle was now well over 90° and the fan wasnt kicking in

So is there any wa to test the fan switch or temp sensor , cause i dont want to start buyin things and changing if im hittin it from the wrong angle

Temperature sensor must obviously be working as it's showing on your clocks. As for the fan, make sure the connectors are clean and secure and you can test it by jumping the fan off your battery.

if you get stuck and cant slove it , i can pop over and have a look for you as only a 20 mins job to test and fix , you prob find that its the fan switch thats gone , can get a new one from rick o or c j ball ,
plus well worth cleaning your rads out and degrease them as well , as they build up with shit in them ,
done this to mine and made a differents

Note the fan temp switch is not related to the temp gauge, i.e. working temp gauge does not mean working fan temp switch.
