Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Fan kicks in extremely late!
« on: 17 June 2016, 04:47:41 am »
Hi all

My fan kicks in extremely late and I'm wondering where to start troubleshooting. I've changed the thermo sensor thrice in the past 6 months to no avail. Right now I'm riding with a direct current to the fan, so it's permanently running.

Fyi I'm riding in tropical Singapore and a couple nights ago I was caught in a traffic snarl the fan didn't run when it should, the coolant reservoir cap just blew out and some boiling coolant scalded my right thigh. The problem doesn't seem to recur once I had the fan permanently on.

Almost everything else is new. I just had the engine overhauled and the main wire harness changed last October. Even my fan relay is brand new. I'm also running Christian's multi gauge but the water temp reading is just missing (shows a dash or hyphen).

Any ideas? Is it possible the thermo sensor wire needs replacement? Could the fan possibly be waiting for a Fahrenheit reading (high!) from a Celsius sensor?

Thanks in advance!

Hi fellow foccers


I recently installed the multi-gauge (amazing work - thanks Christian!) and observed a problem with the water temperature readout. It is permanently showing a dash <-> and this means that the reading is either too high or too low. Given that I've tried waiting from a cold start until my coolant started to boil, I guess this suggests my water temp sensor is not working. This can explain why my engine runs hotter than any other FZS1000 rider I know! When caught in a traffic snarl for only 10 minutes the coolant starts to overflow via the hoses below the right footpeg.


Would any of you foccers happen to know from which OEM part category this sensor is found and what is the name of the part? I've been thru the entire parts catalogue and could not figure out where it is. The water temp electrical signal to the dashboard must originate from somewhere on the bike itself, right?


Thanks in advance mates!
