Hi All,
Just got my klx250r (Australian version) and am in the process of putting her on a diet. Is there any reason why I should not take the fan off the radiator? I had a klx400 before and some mates have Wr250's that dont have the fans at all. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

 

if you want try weighing the rad fan. and then weight the risk of overheating.

see which one is heavier

 

Excellent weight analogy. Right on man. (Note to FN) Analogy is not what you think.

 

I hear the fan come on all the time when I am on the trails here in Texas. No way would I take it off.

 

what can i say, i like to insite thought

I ride my kid around all the time in first gear I have only heard and seen my fan come one time.I even took the bike back to the dealer to have it fix and it still wont come on.[&o]

 

I thought for the longest time that the fan just didn't work. Last weekend it finally did come on while climbing a steep hill. According to the Vapor's temperature gauge, it came on at 214-215F. It's reported that the overtemp dummy light will come on at 230F -- I've never seen it.

I wouldn't mind if itcame on earlier. On a street bike I had I wired a switch to manually over-ride it coming on, so when I was sitting in traffic I could proactively enable the fan.

 

Did you mean insight orincite?

Incite: To arouse action
Insight: Understanding

i see my dummy light come on when riding around in the swamp and crick mud, doesnt get enough air movement back through those trails so i usualy head out take it down the dirt road the light goes out.
