My 07 has 450 miles on it. I've yet to hear the fan come on or run after shutting down. I live in Minnesota, and as usual it has been pretty cool, but I 've been commuting to work, about 15 miles, in 80 degree temps this week,and still no fan. Is it just that quite, or possibly not working? I have not noticed a difference in the cooling level since buying the bike a month ago.

 

I have a 09 and live in Alabama and i have only heard mine come on once and that was after riding it in the woods for a couple of hours i think the bike just doesn't over heat easily.

 

Mine is an 06 with 7700 miles and I heard it come on only once 2 summers ago on a 100 degree day on a real technical trail.

 

I have been riding mine since I joined the forum. and only herd the fan a couple of times and then it was hours of tight bush trails.

The fan doesn't normally come on when riding on the streets. I only heard mine when I was riding for hours going through 1st & 2nd gear in the woods. And when I had to sit in a traffic jam for 30mins in 90*F weather.

 

The fan usually comes on for me when I'm doing a tight technical trail.

 

I just yanked mine off tonight. Ive had it come on once riding in extremely tight woods and it was 103 degrees that day. Im gonna upgrade the coolant to some premixed racing stuff to help out. Ill keep you all posted.

 

mine only comes on in real tight sloppy going.

 

i think ive herd mine on once..... my buddy on his ktm 950 adv said the last street ride he went on the fan was on the whole ride.... low 90's... thaught it was kinda weird.

 

TD,

I'm in central florida so you can imagine what my average riding conditions are. I've only heard my fan come on a couple of times, usually crawling though the woods in 2nd. Got to say I'm pretty impressed with the cooling system, seems like all it needs is a bit of air flowing past to get the job done.
