the addict Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 Your running the risk of burning the fan motor out if you keep it on all the time,ok in an emergency but could be alot more expensive than sorting the original problem out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tt5th Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 I agree that it'll burn that fan out eventually but if you really need to, just connect the wires that went to the temp sensor together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jse Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Your running the risk of burning the fan motor out if you keep it on all the time,ok in an emergency but could be alot more expensive than sorting the original problem out I also think so. As mentioned, the wires can be connected to effect constant operation, but you negate the purpose of the fan, which is to regulate the coolant temp under various conditions. The fan is not designed for constant operation, but intermittant use, and replacing the clip that holds the thermocouple in will probably cost about about 1/50th the price of a new fan, which usually is only available as a whole assembly that includes the motor, blades and housing.

scorpa3 Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Plus, leaving it permanently on will make the coolant slow to warm up in cold weather, which can damage an engine and at the very least make the bike run poorly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
