fan

Instead of a manual override fan switch, they claim a different engineer sensor to cycle the fan at lower temps. Anyone try this? http://vmaxoutlaw.com/merchandise/performance.htm http://vmaxoutlaw.com/merchandise/performance.htm

Since it is too brisk to ride, I am wondering on how to make my day useful. Along with installing a manual fan switch I decided to install a 12 outlet. Since we depend on our phones/smart phones, what are the chances of being out and then phone dying? I have been there with the car, but out...

As always with my mod and how-to write ups, a little speal divulging the inspiration: The bike was acting up every once in a while when I'd go start 'im up. Figuring it was another electrical gremlin, I started measuring voltages. Long story short, I found a broken ground terminal. Don't...

OK. Bike starts with no issues. I wanted to test the radiator fan, though, so I let it idle in the garage (no rear wheel on yet) to see when the fan was going to come on... well. It DIDN'T... EVER. I had to go grab a box fan and aim it at the radiator to keep it from going past the first red...

I've had a 1998 Vmax for the past 5 months, now it started to drip coolant from the drain valve. Cool no problem. Removed the valve and replaced the O-ring seal. No more dripping. Didn't open all plugs when doing the valve removal so probably all the radiator coolant was gone only. I...

So as I plod along with the RattleCan Special, I've been diving into my parts pile. Grabbed a nice radiator fan and restore it only to find it does not fit a Vmax radiator. Uhhh? I only dabble with Vmaxes so I am at a loss as to what this fits. The three mounting arms are all wrong. There is no...

How much voltage drop is typical when the fan kicks on? Thanks

The fan has quit working. I will troubleshoot using skills honed on cars. Can anyone tell me where the temperature switch/sensor is located? Also is the fan easily removed (if necessary)? Any input is welcomed. Thanks Warren

I bought a radiator fan over ride switch last winter on Ebay, have the switch but can't find the insulation instructions. Nor can I find the vendor or anyone selling them on Ebay. Any help? Thanks.

Been trying to get my 06 running after a year of storage due to deployment. Only had the bike for a couple weeks before i left and it ran fine. Here's a couple of problems I'm having. 1. Bike overheated after I got it cranked to burn off some of the old fuel, didn't think to see if fan was...

Just seeing if anyone could post a wiring diagram (very clear and easy to understand cause i'm piss poor at electronics). Preferably with real pictures. I have a switch that is already installed near the ignition area. I just need hook up some wires cause they have been taken off. I just...

Does anyone know what would cause my engine to stall when my bike gets warm (not redline but close) and the rad fan kicks on? The rpm's starts to fluctuate and then it just dies. I checked out a few forums regarding this issue and found it could be anything from a battery to a stator problem. So...

Re: Vmax Fan Control Switch This is how I mounted my manual fan switch: First thing I did was get me one of them nice looking, Radio Shack flat toggle switch. I chose this one, cause I think it looks sweet. It shows $3.19 on thier website, but locally I bought it for $3.99. This is the...

I want to add a fan control switch that I've heard many others have added to their bike which can be used to turn the fan on at anytime when the bike seems to be getting hot. Any suggestions on how best to do this? I'm not a mechanic nor an electrician so any and all suggestions and help would...

Driving home yesterday ( beautiful 80 degree sunny day ) in stop and go traffic :bang head:. The bike stalled out 3 times just comming off idle along with rough idle. I was flipping my fan switch on and off as the bike heated up, and it seemed to only be a problem when the temp guage was...

Now that I've put an aftermarket temp gauge in how do I get the fan to come on ? :ummm:

After doing a lot of research here, I went ahead and ordered the radiator fan switch kit from VMax Outlaw. Between that, new antifreeze and the water-wetter I hope to eliminate the overheating problem. It was 65 degrees today and within 2 long red lights, the temp was going to the red. I had to...

1 month ago i discovered the fan was not kicking in when the temp is raising near the red. As a temporary fix, I added a manual switch and then the fan is turning on. I recently change the temp sender unit with a stock one but the issue remains. The fan only kicks in with a manual override but...

I need some advice about the purpose of an on & off override fan switch. I assume the stock operation automatically kicks on the fan when the motor reaches a curtain temperature to keep the engine in the appropriate cooling range. My question is how does adding this switch actually help in...

:bang head: had it installed for about 6 days just broke something in the driveshaft or final drive. I notice (before) when I shifted about 9500 rpm it sure jumped hard. Well I was getting ready to go on a ride tomorrow. No ride for me :angry flame devil:
