Hi All.

Just a bit of trivia thats not mentioned in the owners or service manual, its a simple method to verify your cooling fan ops.

Bike in neutral, engine temp above 45degC, RPM above 2000 and after a delay of about 5sec the cooling fan should spring into life and remain on until RPM is less than 2000.

Just for Info.

Cheers.

Hi PetePower.

Thats strange! You sure you met all the conditions I mentioned? I've done this numerous times while the bikes on the centre stand. There is a 5 to 8sec delay for the fan to kick in provided RPM is above 2000 and engine temp is greater than 45degC, bike in neutral, the cooling fan should switch in, assume your cooling fan is OK?

My bike should be exactly like yours as we both have the 2014 8gen. Try again and let's know how it goes, very curious.

Cheers.

Grum
