copemech Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 (edited) Nothing special here, conect two wires and it should run. Reverse polarity if needed, it should run oither direction. Fans run on DC power, so if it it does not run on bike, you may need to look at thermo switch or rectifier.

scorpa 4 dean Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 You should see a brass nut on the radiator with 2 wires on the bottom. The brass nut is the thermostat switch. Take the wires off and using one small piece of wire loop the 2 wires together making sure a good connection is made and then kick the bike off. This makes the fan constant or on all the time when the bike is running. Basically by-passes the thermostat switch. If the fan doesnt run when doing this take the loop out and using 2 pieces of wire connect it to a car battery instead if the fan runs when connected to a battery you have problems with your rectifier or stator. If the fan runs when looped with one piece of wire change the radiator thermostat switch but you will loose coolant so buy a bottle to replace.
