Well, I am certainly getting to know this bike, inside and out! After fixing the tank leak, opening up the starter relay, ignition switch, and kill switch to clean/repair ... now I have noticed this odd issue.
The fan comes on relatively soon after running the bike. I don't think that is an issue, but I noticed that when I put the turn indicator on in either direction, the fan seems to cycle with the flashing (?!?). Doesn't seem quite right to me.
Then, the last time I rode the bike, the temp warning light started to glow ... low at first, but then much brighter. When I got home, I checked coolant level and quality and both were fine.
Any thoughts on what to look at?
Many thanks, as always, for ideas and help from this incredible resource!
