K100RS fan hasn't been coming on (prob u/s since I got the bike 3 years ago.
Since i have the LH upper fairing piece and the tank off to deal with another issue, I'd like to test it and
see if it will switch on. Can turn the fan blade although not running freely so :
1 - can i lube the shaft in situ with WD40 using a tube and where?
2 - how can I determine if the temperature sensor is the problem
3 - If it's not the sensor, how can I test the fan without removing it.
Bike dropped down to 3 cylinders (but could have been two) Simultaneously tacho went AWOL.
Suspicion that it could be a coil issue but first i checked that ignition control unit plug was firmly seated.
Turned coils 'upside down" and all connectors clean and seating properly. These are the old all black coils so I understand that they could be originals. Have a No 1 and 4 coil that I got off a wrecked RT. Since the tacho impulse goes through this coil, can i just do a swap.
My electrical expertise is currently limited to getting 3 pin plugs into wall sockets so any directions will have to be in "dummies' format, otherwise we might have a Pauline "please explain" session.
