The fan on my K100LT’ ’88 suddenly stopped working a while ago. Been trying the system going again but nothing seems to work to get it in stock condition.
Heres what all Ive done:
Replaced fan motor
Replaced temp sensor
Cleaned ground point on the frame (no corrosion found)
Check for broken/loose wires (none found)
Fan spins by connecting A2 to E
Overheat light NEVER COMES ON, no matter what the temp is
Taking some hints from the forum and since none of the above worked; connected E, (in the female connector temp relay) to the battery +ve. Put a manual switch to make fan go.
Inserted the relay on top of the connector and put everything together.
Result:
-fan works when I put it on which is when temp gauge mid-way mark.
-bike starts fine, idles fine, revs great up to 4-5k, but jerks a lot only when riding in gear at operating temp.
Question:
-could this be due to bad temp signals to FI some how
-clogged fuel filter/line etc. now.
Any help appreciated –I’m quite lost!
