My bike was overhauled one month ago after not being used for a long time. I know that the thermostate had been replaced (not with a new one, but 2nd hand allegedly OK), yet until now I never heard ventilator fan starting. I know it should switch on when the coolant liquid's temperature reaches 100 grad Celsius, but how to test all of this? Once in this period I had to drive in a traffic jam and it was hot weather, so the temperature meter almost reached the red area - and still nothing happened.

Also, my buddy who fixes bikes' electrics would be very happy if someone could tell us at which SIDE of the bike we should look and which parts of the fairing need to be taken off. We just tried with the front grill behind the wheels, and were nothing cleverer after that. So more work is foreseen for this weekend maybe.

Cheers

After a drive, leave the bike runing on centerstand for 5 - 10 minutes and fan will start (maybe not). I heard mine only few times in ten years. Fan starts at 103 C.

ReneZ wrote:Tarik, in the fault finding you find the schedule/diagram. Under the heading temperature/fan you'll see the relevant part highlighted. Clicking on the 'temp monitoring unit' gets you a schematic that shows how all is connected. You or your mechanic should have sufficient info with that to do some fault finding or look at the ignition trouble shooting page almost at the bottom where it also tells you what resistance from your sensor should be at which temperature.

Hope you get it working OK shortly!!
