Yay MOT

I dont think the fan id cutting in, the rad was boiling and temp gague works. So, can i use a straight replacement for a Gsxr 1100w ... and are there adjustable temp ones ? _________________ Don't read everything you believe |

I use a Davis-Craig adjustable unit for controlling the electric water pump and radiator fan on my GT750 track bike.

I dont want a manual switch its just something else to worry about. Its not a huge problem i can just fit a new switch. I put a Muzzy fan on to shift a bit more air _________________ Don't read everything you believe |

You might be able to find a Muzzy fan. Its has metal fins with a bigger surface area _________________ Don't read everything you believe |

I have done the same on my Dieci. Wired a switch in parallel with the radiator temp switch. Otherwise the bike is very hot before the fan cuts in normally. Tend to use it if I know the temp will be getting high (ie, getting in to traffic)
All the best

So. Had a look at it and one of the malesin the connector block was come out and one female wasnt gripping. So changed the connector and went op t'road to get the engine hot. It didnt overheat but then again i didnt hear the fan come in. Hmmm fairing off time i think _________________ Don't read everything you believe |

EC,
Just in case it's the switch that's dodgy you might want to think about trying this...…….. the temp switch on my SB6 didn't start the fan until the water temp was v high. I was advised to fit an Intermotor 50332 switch (Nissan Primera or Nissan Sunny) - M16 x 1.5 thread - as it was claimed to lower the temp at which the fan kicks in. Since the fix was dog cheap I tried it and, as a pleasant surprise, it worked! It's been fine for a number of years now.

When i looked at the switch earlier today i thought it was sligthly different to the Suzuki part and i think it might be one of these.
Good to know - thanks _________________ Don't read everything you believe |
