Hello All,

Havent been here for a while, but do have a question or two? Done about 5000km trouble free till now.
the main fan motor burnt out completely, anyway long story square got a fan from a truimph that has the same mounting points and pulls a lot stronger than the original ect.
i would like to put a fan bridge out switch so i can switch the fan on manually. is it just a case of bridging out the contacts on the temp sender unit fan switch?
what impact will it have if i did put a piggy back wire with a switch between the the thermoswitch?

many thanks

Can I ask why you prefer manual switch? I suspect that the control relay is capable of switching and running that fan.

Ned,
I personally find that when it's really hot and riding in congested traffic , I would like to have the fan starting at maybe 80⁰ instead of the 103⁰. I believe that the engine is normally running at about 80⁰ and it would be nice to keep this same temperature when stock in the traffic.

It's easy to install a switch without modifying the original circuit.
Here is where you should bridge your switch:
