Author Message   Migs16 Posted on Friday, May 14, 2010 - 01:51 am:        ok this only happened twice but it was when it was really hot out and the bike was really hot. i was riding around and then the fan would kick on while im riding, and so then i pulled over and let it run until it stopped and started the bike and it was fine for a while until yesterday it did it again while i was riding. its not consistent but i just want to know if thats normal or not??   Terrys1980 Posted on Friday, May 14, 2010 - 02:42 am:        normal   Boliver Posted on Friday, May 14, 2010 - 06:42 am:        Normal   Fast1075 Posted on Friday, May 14, 2010 - 07:28 am:        Migs16...the control system senses the rear cylinder temperature...turns on the fan as needed to help keep it cool....adding a right side scoop will help cool the engine and slightly reduce the heat you feel from the bike.   Whistler Posted on Friday, May 14, 2010 - 09:22 am:        It has been fairly warm for some time here in the Lone Star State. Fan has been coming on regularly while riding. Recently installed a scoop on the Scg and a scoop/comfort kit on the Uly. Since the installs, neither fan has come on while riding. At shut down the fans run for a short time or not at all. Rider felt heat has thankfully been reduced.   Whistler Posted on Friday, May 14, 2010 - 03:54 pm:        Uly scoop update. Just finished a spirited ride on a 85 degree afternoon. Fan came on at low gear low speed, off at idle, on at shut down for a couple of minutes. The cooling fan is running less than without the scoop kit but does indeed run when needed.   Brumbear Posted on Friday, May 14, 2010 - 05:13 pm:        Fans are cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1   Fast1075 Posted on Friday, May 14, 2010 - 07:08 pm:        Loud Fans Save Lives!!! I tell the curious the sound is from the supercharger cooling down....or its the moaning from the Yamaha that is wedged in the air scoop...

Best of luck,Lesley   Greg_e Posted on Monday, May 17, 2010 - 11:28 am:        That should read that they ARE a bolt on part and the one from American Sport Bike comes with all the screws needed to assemble the two pieces. You can call it a kit if you like. Not sure about the CF versions but I bet they are bolt on and complete.   Boliver Posted on Monday, May 17, 2010 - 11:37 am:        I didn't get shit with mine from American Sport Bike.Only the box it came in.No instructions and no fasteners.$240.00 But to be fair it does work quite well at keeping the engine temp cooler.Amd my XB doesn't look lopsided any longer. I can't imagine putting more scoops on the Austrian(1125) Buells.I mean my God how much larger could you buy one?
