drhud Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 It might be the thermostat. Try disconnecting the two leads that go on to the t-stat and connect them to each other, probably have to use a small piece of wire. This will put power to the fan full time.

andyt Posted April 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 Cheers thanks for the replies guys, I already tried the thermostat trick & it was deffo the fan motor. Tried a few searches on maplins & the like then even popped into the local RC car shop but couldn't find anyting suitable for mounting to the cage or actually attaching the fan. So eventually cracked & bought the fan from my local shop 96 quid! it was a 'universal' one that was the motor & fan which I didn't need, but they told me the motors are not for sale individually. Then still had to do some botching as this one sat further forward in the mount & the fan touched the rad. Anyway it was a first experience of the fun of taking the bike apart then trying to stuff it all back in the correct place & get the tank to sit back on. Took the cylinder off while I was at it to decoke & check as it was getting a bit loud but I'll save that for another post. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
