Cooling fans
« on: November 25, 2014, 02:02:06 PM »

I've noticed that only my left side fan comes on when the bike gets hot.  Is that the same for everyone?  Does the right side just come on when the bike is very very hot? (I know that the right side fan works - you can turn it on with the throttle, just never comes on in the normal run of events.)

They are set up that way on purpose Jim.  I can't remember the exact temperature each is set to come on, but they are different.  If anyone knows exactly around here, I'd bet it would be Steve Cole.

I did a thread on the same thing about 2 months ago and Steve explained the system as Jerry stated.  Maybe someone can post a link to it-thanks!

Thanks Guys.  Guess I've never got mine hot enough for the second one to come on!

That's it.  Harley fans are both on/both off in stock form .  If you have a TTS like me, they run as Steve stated in my thread (one at a time).

Yep, that's normal they all do that (for real) ... one does come on before the other. How did you turn it on with the throttle? That's a new one I never heard. Shortly after I got my pipe and FP3 just for chits and giggles I let mine idle with my phone in the temp. mode and if I remember right mine came on about 228* ... sorry, can't recall exactly when both came on or shut off, but maybe this will help put your mind at ease.

Thanks guys! Never knew about the fan/pump test ... pretty neat, 44 yrs. old and still learning,lol. I just tried it on mine & worked like a charm. I couldn't hear the pump (too lazy to reach down) over the fans, but I know it works fine. I often feel the hoses when on the bike when riding. Ignition on, kill switch in "run" and hold wide open for 3 seconds, same thing to turn them off, turning the kill switch off didn't stop the test on mine ... guess you could also turn off ign. to stop but didn't try it. My left fan did come on a split second before the right, tried it several times but both seem to turn off at the same time. This new knowledge will come in handy during the summer if I need to cool it down some, thanks again.  :2vrolijk_21:
