1198 cooling fan constantly runs even when cold? anyone had any issue with the cooling fan constantly running when the battery is re-connected? The bike is stone cold (not used for 24 hours) but as soon as the battery is connected it starts straight away...and the battery is drained after a short while because of this. weird? No fault codes either on the dash. |
forget it just reconnected the battery after a nights charge and although the fan kicked into life it stopped as i was tightening the terminals. Arrhh the charm of a new bike..hmm |
Hi All, Found this post by searching t'internet! Have got exactly the same issue after replacing my rad on my 1198! When I connect everything back up my fans are permanently on even with ignition off! Any ideas?! It maybe shorting somewhere but have only disconnected the fan connectors etc! |
Be worth checking the Fan relay, it may have packed up |
Sorted it by connecting everything up with fan fuse removed, fired it up and let it get to 108C then put fan fuse back in (wouldn't go past 62-64C with fuse in) Bike cooled down and fan switched off when it got back below 100C. Think it needed to complete a cooling cycle to reset the fan relay as it had gone over 100C previously when I holed the rad. |
More likely the relay has dried out as they are prone to moisture and Verdi Gris. They cost £1.99 off eBay. It is the first of the two relays on the side of the battery box. Buy 2 relays and replace both, better still buy 3 and put a spare in the tool box. |
