Radiator fan not working. - SV650.org

31-10-09, 01:24 PM

Done a quick search, and can't find anything ....

I don't normaly sit in traffice (filtering or other routes) ..... but just been out a bimble with my newby 125cc friend ...

Anyway ..... bike was gettting hot, but couldn't remember what temp. it kicks in ...... remember my old car used to go to 104degs ...... but got to 112degs before having to switch the engine off to cool !!!

So, I'ce checked the fuse .... seems ok ...... front raditor connector looks a little corroded, but looks good enough ...

Where do I look next ??...... (only got basic toolkit) ...

Thanks

No does not have to be running, just ignition on.
