ossatr250i Posted August 19, 2018 Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 Hi, my fan started sqeeking so I bought a replacement from Adrian @ Lewisport here in Ca. What is the best way to remove the fan?

ossatr250i Posted August 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 Well, it ended up being a very easy swap, the radiator and fan squeeze right up through the frame. Just had to figure out how to remove the fancy radiator hose clamps Ossa uses and it came right out. The replacement fan was ~5/16” taller at the motor but that was not an issue.

lotus54 Posted August 21, 2018 Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 Good idea to replace if it started making noise. If the fan fails it will overheat quite quickly. And riding doesn’t help- since almost no air goes through without the fan. I missed your first post, but sounds like you figured it out easily. mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ossabc63 Posted August 21, 2018 Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 Hi phil do you think the fan is as noisy as before, I thought there was something special with the ossa fan becuase thay seem louder than other brands of bikes. Thought they had more rpm to pull air from in front of the gas tank. Oh well good to know you can still get a fan. Hope it cools as well.

ossatr250i Posted September 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 Kim, as far as I can tell the fan is identical except for the slightly longer motor. Air flow and noise seem to be also the same. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
