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...

Hi . I’m in nyc. We are getting hi 80’s to low 90’s right now. while cruising the 12 mile trip to work…Heat guage will be 1 increment past half. orovlem is four 3 minute red lights at the last 1/4 mile or if I hit stop and go during the trip….the …the temps climb to 1 increment below max...

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

Are there 2 temp sensors? upper fan works correctly.

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

Looks like fuse 6 or 10. going out to check.

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.

Here’s my temp during the same distance as I pulled into my driveway. 1 increment over half. No stop and go traffic on the way home. Just in the morning. thanks for the replies so far.

Great info so far….have some easy lift things to try. M

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...

Interesting…looks like the oil cooler uses coolant to cool the oil.

The black plastic looked like it might be the tip of the plastic drain plug. Would the water pump impeller be plastic? thanks everyone M

I used an official radiator flush per the flush instructions. Ran clear water thru after the flush. drain and filled with 50/50 premix motorcycle cookant.

Yes, I have an IR . Will check the heat spread. drilling hole in thermostat, great idea. fan works ..comes on between half/three quarters did the flush a month ago. clogged cat raises heat due to restricted air flow. M
