Question about cooling fan

[Borislav]

Just found out that one of the coolin fans in my 97 gsxr was melted. the guy at the dealership said that, while i should get this fixed, it is not THAT important at this time since its not hot anymore and 1 fan still works....

do you guys think ill be ok for this season or is this something i should do right now?

[TLRVaz]

if you ride back roads then you will be fine. i have 2 TLR's with no fans.
If you ride on city streets then your going to need them once you stop intraffic for long periods of time.

Just keep an eye on your gage, you should be fine!

check out muzzy, maybe you can get an aluminum fan kit, I did and it helped keep things cool, in addition to remedying the melted fan problem...

Yip, pretty much what he said. But keep in mind that his (and my) TL-R's run pretty hot. You could probably ride the thing the rest of it's natural life with just one fan. But it's probably short money to replace the fan (go aftermarket) for a little piece of mind...

I just remembered that I have a fan if you want one. Should be the same

Let me know

I definatly want one if it will fit my gsxr

Cycle 128 in beverley said it would cost me like 200$ + to install
though so i guess i can get the fan and put it in for next season. short on cash atm.

[TLRVaz]

NO NO you don't understand

you can have it! and I am sure you can put it in your self!

That sounds a little high to me.

I say you ride to Dartmouth with beer and tools some weekend.

[TLRVaz]

Sounds like a good idea legalspeed

Come on over Borislav, I have a full garage, and I am always working in there. Let me know and you can come by and I will help you put the fan in.

You guys rock, i'm getting the bike serviced (thats free with warranty) on friday, so maybe sometime next week. I'll send you a PM bro.

EDITED

One thing to keep in mind is that I am a TOTAL newbi whne it come to bikek. I know next to nothing about fixing them.

[TLRVaz]

the other thing to keep in mind is that we all start some where. the only way to learn is to help each other.
