Author Message   Americanrice Posted on Saturday, September 17, 2005 - 05:20 pm:        My cooling fan doesn't run anymore while my bike is running. It hasn't all summer long. It will kick on when I shut my bike off. What do you think the problem is? I originally thought that maybe this was due to my adding the left side air scoop over last winter. I have a hard time believing that now that it has gone on all summer long. Any ideas?   Buell666 Posted on Saturday, September 17, 2005 - 05:54 pm:        HOW MANY MILES ARE ON YOUR BIKE? WHEN YOU HIT ABOUT 10K TYPICALLY IT RUNS ALOT LESS. WITH YOUR BIKE BEING BROKEN IN NOW, AND THE AIR SCOOP, I WOULDNT SAY THAT THERE IS ANYTHING WRONG.   Americanrice Posted on Saturday, September 17, 2005 - 05:56 pm:        It only has 4000 miles and it's an "03.   Buell666 Posted on Saturday, September 17, 2005 - 11:42 pm:        WELL, IF THE FAN ONLY WORKS WHEN THE BIKE IS TURNED OFF, AND NOT DURING RIDING ON DAYS WITH HIGH TEMPS, MAYBE YOU HAVE A BAD ENGINE TEMP SENSOR. IF NOT, I DONT KNOW WHAT TO TELL YA. MAYBE THAT ADDITIONAL SCOOP JUST WORKS THAT WELL?   Cataract2 Posted on Sunday, September 18, 2005 - 06:57 am:        If the fans turning on when you shut the bike off then it would seem all is fine. As your put miles on your bike you'll notice the fan running less and less. I have 17,900 miles on mine and the fan runs rarely now.   Americanrice Posted on Sunday, September 18, 2005 - 09:10 am:        OK, thanks guys. I just wanted to make sure that this seemed fine. I would rather fix a small problem now then a big problem later. Thanks again!   Brucelee Posted on Sunday, September 18, 2005 - 10:40 am:        I have added the right side scoop and yes, your fan will remain silent. The way to check your fan is ride in a nice SOCAL traffic jam. The fan WILL come on in those cirumstances, as you are moving slowly or not at all.   Blake Posted on Sunday, September 18, 2005 - 02:48 pm:        In the future please post topics like this to the applicable topic in the Knowledge Vault. We'll be moving this one there soon. Thanks for helping to get BadWeB organized. 172689   Americanrice Posted on Sunday, September 18, 2005 - 02:52 pm:        Brucelee, You are correct, RIGHT side air scoop. I don't know why I said left side??????
