serious3 Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 after 8 months and perhaps 10hrs riding the new genuine honda (expensive) thermo switch has died and its overheating, i'm skint as a result of redundancy so was wondering if i could wire the fan to be on all the time? just for a few months till i can afford a new one?

ham2 Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 If you do that 'mod' remember that your fan will be running continuously along with your engine....something it was not intended to do. It's a great field mod to get you home but that fan motor was only designed to complete 'so many' rotations in it's life span. I reckon a new fan is 10 times more expensive than a new 'stat switch? As always, the choice is yours, now that you have the relevant info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyl Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 Are you sure its the switch and not he fan on its way out - a slow running fan will cause bike to overheat. Best of luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serious3 Posted August 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 :blush: am i embarresed or what, went out and actually had a look at the bike after it had overheated and it turned out to be a loose connection on the red plug from the CDI :blush: so thanks for the replies and next time i'll actually look at the bike before i post on here!!

ham2 Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 5h|t happens...even to the very best: Apparently a stone got stuck in the fan blades and caused the bike to overheat?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
