Author Message   Theamazingkickstand Posted on Thursday, October 18, 2012 - 11:17 pm:        Coming home today I noticed the cooling fans wouldn't turn on. Stuck in traffic after work they were fine. Stopped at the gym. Started bike and rode home on the freeway 2 hours later. Got off the freeway and they wouldn't turn on. Turned off the bike when temp got to 215. I did a valve adjustment about 800 miles ago. Maybe a wire got pulled or disconnected? Bike has 26k miles now. First real issue. I have the EBR race ECM. Can someone hold my hand through checking everything possible in a logical order? THANKS!!!   Cataract2 Posted on Thursday, October 18, 2012 - 11:33 pm:        If fuse is good then it most likely is a wire pulled somewhere.   Sprintst Posted on Friday, October 19, 2012 - 09:52 am:        enjoy the silence! lol   Theamazingkickstand Posted on Saturday, October 20, 2012 - 12:48 pm:        I have a volt meter and will attempt to start fiddleing in a few hours. Are these run through my racing ECM? Relay? No relay? Thanks! Side question. I think the temp light comes on at 230. What temp does damage happen on these?   Theamazingkickstand Posted on Saturday, October 20, 2012 - 01:03 pm:        I have a volt meter and will attempt to start fiddleing in a few hours.

Fans have their own fuse, no relay. Z <edit> ECM varies ground, +12 is direct from fuse block.

Do you know how to check if the ECM is controlling them correctly? What does +12 is direct from fuse block mean?

You should be able to ground the fans and see them run, as they should always have +12 on the yellow-brown wire. They're just waiting for a ground to run. If you ground the wrong wire, you'll pop the fuse. Z   Theamazingkickstand Posted on Saturday, October 20, 2012 - 06:23 pm:        Thanks! OK so I took all the bodywork off and jiggled everything and now they work fine. Problem Is I don't know what I jiggled back into place.   Pmjolly Posted on Sunday, October 21, 2012 - 12:13 pm:        I've heard that if it's running normally, it's not hot enough to cause damage. The ecm goes into a skip spark routine to control overheating. I don't know if it is true.
