essex rider Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 At the trial on sunday i noticed my fan was on as soon as i started it from cold. Would this be the thermostat? Any help much appreciated CHRIS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

essex rider Posted January 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 yes i thought it may be that because if it was short circuited it would still run with the cables off of the thermostat i think??? Does any one know how much on will be because im a bit short of cash and may need to start begging mum or dad!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bikespace Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Is it definitely on all the time? Don't some bikes have it come on straight away, then go off. Always thought that would be a good idea as a confidence test, but I suppose it's not possible with the thermostat in-line, unless there is another feed to it.

austini Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 A lot of riders, myself included, who's thermostat has died, hotwire the fan to run continuiosly with no adverse effects!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james111089 Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 if its a really cold day the bike wont run at its optimium temperature if the fan is wired on constantly, it iwll also take a long time to warm up. James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
