will the fan issue be resolved if i run an extra earth from the fan to the frame or battery .
thanks in advance mark

 

which is the earth wire it has a blue and a black wire.
i assume its the black wire but thought i would ask here first.
thanks ,Mark

 

well much has happened since my last visit.
i put the extra earth to the fan/battery and i t runs when you switch the iggy on but here in Texas thats not going to be an issue.
did an oil/filter change and put the fairing on for the first time.
one side was a replacement as destroyed by PO crash.
so one side has the crash bung fitted and one side was virgin plastic.
time for the hole saw.(worked out nicely).
but my question is the virgin side has a castellated nut and Allen key fitting inside that looks like it fits the frame to the motor, the other side which had the crash bung only has an Ali bushing that a long threaded bolt goes through securing the delrin bung to the frame.
circled in red in the screen grab
presumably it should be 2 sets , 1 each side.?
thanks in advance Mark

 

thanks for the comprehensive reply

well freshly platted and first shake down trip to town to meet a buddy (speed twin) for coffee.
all going well flying along about 85 mph on the freeway when i see a police suv entering the fray so i chopped the throttle and the speedo goes to 19mph still doing about 60/70 suspecting the new magnetic speedo doodad.
no biggie carry on to destination all good.
but on the return run the dash starts cycling through and then quits.
suspecting the fan running constantly is draining the battery.(it would not come on error code bad earth so i ran a extra earth from the fan to the battery earth.but fan runs when iggy is on...
pulled the front wheel and three of the magnets have come loose.
not sure what to do about the fan issue.
maybe fit an inline switch .
any advise always appreciated.
cheers mark

 

anyone know where a good earth point is on the bike as i connected the fan earth to the battery and in runs constantly and drains the battery .
so would a frame or engine mounting point work
when i touch the extra earth to the frame the fan doesn't spin, hoping it will when the ecu prompts it to.
cheers mark

 

yes the issue is when the fan was told to run it shows error code "fan bad earth"
so i ran an extra earth to the fan,but when connected to the battery earth it runs all the time when the ignition is on.
so i am looking for a good spot to connect the extra earth lead to.
as always any and all help is appreciated.
cheers mark

 

I assume the sensor would be the temp sensor in the radiator
.the weird thing is the dash shows the correct temps ..

 

have one on order ,can’t hurt to change it out ..thanks for the ongoing support .

well the water temp sensor ordered finally arrived , it is a bit fiddly to install but managed it without loss of blood.
I had previously updated the idle map and reset the TPS to the correct voltage range curtesy of a different post on this forum. But unable to run as waiting on the sensor.
It fired up settled into a smooth idle and fan came on at 212/100 degrees.
big thanks to all that helped.
currently drinking a beer in your honor
