Fan coming on when it's cold!!

[fazermike]

Hi guys I have a question for you 


I started my gen 1 fazer up from cold today just to warm it through after being unused for weeks.


And not long after I started it and still on choke the radiator fan came on until I put it in gear then it went off.


This has happened a few times but only as far as I can remember since I fitted a Kawasaki ZX9 ajustable clutch lever but I can't see how this would affect it? or could it be the side stand cut out switch??

sounds like it's totally focced mate, head gasket most probably.
i'll give you £500 for it, as you're a board member

Proper knackered! Not even worth 500notes, I'll give you fifty quid for it!
Or, you could not worry about it as its a standard thing on Fazers

Fan will come on if the bike is at standstill because there's no airflow through the radiator (thus it'll naturally run hotter anyhow). Provided it isn't running hot at speed, it'll be fine.

HTH.

Its supposed to do that its part of the self test for the fan. First time i noticed it on mine i thought bloody hell dont tell me its knackered already

I would say its most definately the new clutch lever you fitted. I put a new pair of tyres on mine recently and it did exactly the same thing so i had to put the old ones back on and the problem disappeared.
 
£600 tops, and no more offers please chaps 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Sorry fella. Don't worry about it bud. Mine does it on choke too if i even breath on the throttle. Its not an issue

As Allen has said its a case of " they all do that sir" its normal.

If you sit on the bike, take it off the side stand and pop it in and out of 1st or second gear and back into neutral and the fan will stop.

Anyother replies are pointless. It'll have blew up by now

Why would you pay 500 for the fan?

    you guys are so funny!!  (thanks for the sensible advice thought 

[fazermike]

That's an unusual  running start check...never had a water cooled bike have that before    makes sense I suppose as you would be stuffed if it didnn't work!!!
