    Fuel tank removal for lowering link install

    I installed the lowering 2" kit 30K miles ago. didnt remove seat or tank. I jacked it up, used 1/4 drive tools and universal joints, and lock tight. BUT, I did not get what I expected...the caster increase was excessive and impacted handling on steep long bridges during climbs. So I had...

    I watched a video from a vmax guru a while back and he grounded a green wire with a yellow strip on the Ecu and both fans came on….so I am inferring from that that there is only 1 sensor. M

    Both fuses are good so this weekend…I’ll check more into lower radiator fan circuit.

    Looks like there are two seperate fuses….one for each fan. now to hunt them down.

    Update upper fan comes on at 2 increments past half. but lower fan does not come on at all…even at red heat warning. so need to investigate if I have a bad fan, bad wiring, fuse issue, etc. I used a long thick tye wrap to see if the fan rotates and it does…just doesn’t spin.

    so in nyc the hourly rate is 110 and parts are marked up, so a job that could be 800 in parts will wind up costing close to 3k . So I stay clear of the local repair shops.

    So this morning I was at 1/2 point on heat indicator for almost all of the 12 mile trip. The last 1/4 mile were the usual four 3 minute red lights. When I pulled in to park after 15 minutes of my foot on the ground due to red lights , I am just below max on the heat dial with no red warning...
