Glad you like the Forum George, we're always happy for new members, just remember that we also love pictures, so don't be shy, you must also have a DB1 and DB2, so lots of pretty pictures please, or at least a little info on your hoard?  |

Just to clarify George........
This is a SB6 problem not a 6R problem.
The 6R has a different rad/fan configuration and looks like it won't sufer the same fate as the SB6 fan

Has anyone encountered a fan melting on a SB6 before? I imagine it would only be a problem if the bike was idling for a long period.

| It's not just a Bimota problem. The Suzuki guys also have issues over time. |

idling for a long period such as in traffic etc
Yep, I've encountered two SB6's with this problem, one of them mine. |

The advert in the link says you can run the engine cooler in the city, which is good but then goes on about robbing horespower ... you don't really need max horepower in the city ...
