Author Message   Vinb Posted on Tuesday, July 27, 2010 - 05:56 am:        What do you guys think. My left fan turns on at 173°f and the right at 205°f. Voltage hangs about 12-12.7v. And I've had everything in the charging system replaced even the battery. So over all voltage is down a volt and temp is up 10°f from what I was getting early this year.   Zac4mac Posted on Tuesday, July 27, 2010 - 10:26 am:        Sounds normal. It's hotter now than it was, and the fans pull a lot of Amps. They are a big load on the electrical system. ECM is programmed to run the fans like that to reduce the total current draw. Yesterday on my way home on Loretta it was 99-100 AT, 180 CT at 80mph, 14.3 Volts. Once I got off the freeway, 50mph, 190 CT and 13.6 Volts. I also have an 09 Uly with the Comfort Kit and Loretta is MUCH cooler to ride now than the Uly. The Uly cooks my whole right leg.

I used to run both after like 186°f and the voltage was up around 13.6 and now after I had to replace the relay for the stater harness both those things have changed. Even the fan after run is shorter or not at all with the temperature at or above 190° now.   Zac4mac Posted on Tuesday, July 27, 2010 - 03:59 pm:        Given what's been replaced, my WAG would be a fan going bad. If the bearings are rough enough to prevent turning at low speed but high speed gets it going... If you start popping fan fuses, you'll know for sure. Try spinning the fans with a stick, manually, and see if one drags. Z   Vinb Posted on Tuesday, July 27, 2010 - 07:55 pm:        Tried it the fans seem to be good. They both work its just that the right one kicks on at 205° that seems to high to me. Now the manual tells me they both come on at 170.6° is this change from the new flash.   Zac4mac Posted on Wednesday, July 28, 2010 - 02:24 am:        The latest flash does some things to the fans. I don't hear mine, the Drummer kinda drowns them out. I believe there are two speeds and the ECM can run L-R independently. Maybe the harness flash changed that some again. dunno. Z   Tpoppa Posted on Wednesday, July 28, 2010 - 10:19 am:        Normal. My right fan kicks on around 205.   Vinb Posted on Wednesday, July 28, 2010 - 11:59 am:        Has it done that from day one?   Tpoppa Posted on Wednesday, July 28, 2010 - 12:23 pm:        Not sure. It could have been changed in the latest ECM flash.
