Hello all, fitted Oxford heated grips to my K100rs 16v last week, started the bike to test the grips were heating, all working good. Took it to work next day, no problem a couple of hours later went to start and ride home and when I turned on the ignition switch, the radiator fan came on and there were no priming noises from the fuel pump. The bike turned over fine and when pushing the starter button, the fan stopped running, when I stopped pushing the starter, the fan came back on. In the blurb supplied in the Oxford kit, it says something about the standard wiring possibly being affected by the heated grip wiring. Anyone else had this problem, or is it just coincidence and a sensor had failed. I've had the water temp sensor fail on this bike and it was replaced about a year ago, so not sure about that. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance, Dave.
