Author Message   Nose2wind Posted on Sunday, March 06, 2016 - 12:35 pm:        My fan is not running and I'm trying to remove the top 1/2 of the plastic cowl and look things over. I can't see any fasteners, but can't seem to get loose. It moves around but won't come out. Is there a trick or something holding it in? Thanks   Hughlysses Posted on Sunday, March 06, 2016 - 12:49 pm:        It's been a while since I did it, but IIRC, it helps to remove the upper sub frame bolts and loosen the lower ones, which will allow the tail assembly to pivot down. If you have racks for the factory bags, you'll have to remove the lower bolts for those, too. The shroud is pretty much wedged in there, so it takes some "persuasion" to get it out.   Ourdee Posted on Sunday, March 06, 2016 - 02:19 pm:        Wasn't there another way to get to the fan wrote up years ago?   Teeps Posted on Sunday, March 06, 2016 - 03:42 pm:        If you need to replace the fan, here is a DIY option. http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/142 838/762330.html   Nillaice Posted on Sunday, March 06, 2016 - 04:04 pm:        I pulled the battery and under tail out to get access for fan or comfort kit removal/install   Nose2wind Posted on Sunday, March 06, 2016 - 04:24 pm:        I'm trying to get to the wiring so I can see why it isn't running. Maybe put some voltage to it through the wire. Any suggestions on how to test and see why it isn't coming on?   Nillaice Posted on Monday, March 07, 2016 - 11:20 am:        the easiest way is to hook your bike up thru ecm spy and you can test run the fan in the diagnostics menu. otherwise the connector is a pain to get too, but it can be done. if your fan is caked with oil and dirt, you might as well just order another one form STpaulHD or get a fan and re-use your housing/shroud. http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Buell-OEM-Cooling-Fan- All-XB-Models-Y0050-02A8A-B2Y-/281948839171?fits=M ake%3ABuell&hash=item41a575dd03:g:Kd4AAOSw8d9U0QCC &vxp=mtr http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/142 838/762330.html?1435773333   Nose2wind Posted on Monday, March 07, 2016 - 08:14 pm:        I don't have the ecm spy device. However there is another way to bypass the ecm and run the fan manually. Check your wiring diagram and you will find the wire that runs to pin 3 on the ecm module can be shorted to ground and the fan will come on. It is basically a switch, that when grounded will complete the circuit. I have a 09 Uly. My fan runs fine this way.   Nose2wind Posted on Monday, March 07, 2016 - 08:27 pm:        New question: This leaves the heat sensor or my bike didn't get hot enough to bring the fan on (never happens) What brought this on? I rode the bike all day Saturday in 76* and noticed the fan never came on. When I got home I started the bike and let it idle for a time (to get hot) and waited for the fan to activate. It never did. Either I didn't wait long enough or the sensor is bad. How long would you need to run your Uly at Idle before the fan comes on? I want to try again, but don't want to run the bike longer than necessary, due to overheating issues. Thanks for the help   Ryanco Posted on Monday, March 07, 2016 - 08:51 pm:        Mine comes on within 10 minutes sitting at idle.   Nillaice Posted on Monday, March 07, 2016 - 11:16 pm:        Fuse? 'Wiggle test'? Ohm'd? Do you need the service manual?
