Fan?
Posted: Tue Feb 09, 2016 8:46 pm
A bit of a cheeky question this one because it's not on my FireStorm but on my 1993 CB1000 Super Four but I guess the same would apply to a Storm as it's a bit of a generic question
My fan doesn't appear to be coming on - I changed the original fan switch when the fan stopped working, fitted a cheap Chinese replacement which worked initially but stopped working soon after. I suspected the Chinese factor and kicked myself for going against my better judgement and buying anything Chinese! I replaced the fan switch next with a decent Japanese switch, which worked initially and stopped working soon after!! grrrrr!
I have checked the fuse which is okay. taken the fan off and connected it to the battery and it runs fine and is clean and as new and runs smoothly, the wiring also looks in good condition and no obvious signs of corrosion. The bike is in almost showroom condition, so I don't suspect any general corrosion related issues
Coolant levels are fine
Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated
