07- Cooling Fan Not Working- HELP!

[jteixeira33]

So...checked the fuse, looked OK but I replaced it anyways. Start the bike ran for about 15 mins, went on a 10 minute ride and nothing. No engine light, but the fan is NOT running? Is there a way to hard wire the fan without it out of the bike? I think I will pull it out tomorrow.

Also its running good, starts everytime. Rear head is HOT. Have had an 90 Harley FXR that would not get this hot, not even close.

NOTE: check ur voltage regulator connection plug; to the left of the timing cover. An update was made in '08 to that plug. This is what happened to my '07 xb9r ,,,

The fan might not run after 25 min. Sometimes mine won't come on for days. As for testing if it's the fan just hook it straight up to a battery or use a power probe.

Tested the fan by itself this morning and nothing happens. Looks like I will be picking up a new fan from ASB.

Does anyone know of someone cheaper besides Al for a fan? Also going to pick up right side scoop and put some fresh synthetic oil in.

you could maybe try ebay for a used one or buellster.

I picked up a good used one recently on fleabay for $30:)

Hey guys update-

Replaced the fan yesterday, put her all back together and it works great! Fan goes hi to low after shutting it down. Put some RP max cycle and right side scoop, and breather mod...and WOW. Thanks guys,


I guess I can leave this thread for reference? or delete?

hello

There is awailable cooling fan kit, it is wiring kit, that overrides the problem with burned fuse, and it makes the old fan which is in ok condition to work further, problem is that fan after some time when it gets its working hours have higher resistance and uses a little more current and buell electronics was not designed for that, but in general in all automotive grade fans works lifetime, for example cars, trucks and so on,...
I purchased wireing kit for cca 60usd with installation photos and instructions, and all that I removed was a seat, nothing else,so you can say it is easy. the company that I purchased from have website www.racing-electronics.com but they dont list the product I guess anybody interested should contact them by email or phone on their website.

I love my bike
