Engine heat

[Rkuly]

One data point for you - I just changed out my fan. The old one appeared to be the original. 2008 model XB12XT (fan also had a 2008 date code), 65,000 miles.

Are you running the new fan logic? With the old logic my fan normally only runs for a short period after shut down. On a hot day it would sometimes run when riding, but only when running “hard”. Since I have two ecm’s now, I’m thinking I’ll run the new logic in the summer and old in the winter since the heat then is more welcome.

Have previously replaced the ECM due to being cracked at the connectors, fat guy on the seat so I did the ecm lowering mod, with new fan logic. Also installed the entire Comfort kit. PIA to install the cover that goes over the rear shock. I do notice that the ecm stays cooler, fan runs less, little less dirt under the seat, and a little bit cooler to ride. Every little bit adds up and helps.
