Hey everybody need some help here. My fan motor went out on the cat. I can't find one for less than $110 and do not want to spend that much. Is there anyone who knows of an online or otherwise site that sell them for less, or is there something I can cross reference over and rig in. Any help would be great. Ready to get back to riding. I have had this bike since 98 and it will be my wifes ride now I've gotta get a new cat but I need to figure out something on this one first

 

I'm having the same problem with my 2006 AC 400 FIS Auto 4x4 it hasn't gone out on me , but it's starting to make a squealing noise when the fan first cycles on while riding ; i first noticed it a few days ago wile riding i don't have an anwer but i would also be interested in what someone comes up with on this issue !

Also i would like to know if there's a way to lubicate the fan motor , i don't want to continue riding it untill it goes out on me ; any info anyone has to offer would be great if it can't be serviced i will take mine to an industrial supply and have them match one up with one that can be serviced !........

 

computer fans are 12v ..

let's face facts- 110 bucks to not "kill" your atv? save up a couple weeks

 

You might try taking ot off and going to an auto parts store and looking at the radiator fans on import cars. Like a Suzuki sidekick, etc. I was told at one time that a CV boot from a geo metro will fit certain AC machines. Never was able to figure out which one but it occured to me that if you could find a similar sized fan off a car you could just swap them out. A car is a 12v system too but it would probably need to dray the same amperage and you would need to tweak the wiring some.

Also, check the cost of a new fan for a Suzuki ATV it may be cheaper than $110. But if I had a choice of spending $110 OR messing my engine up from overheating it. I would spend the $.

Measure the diameter of the fan and get an aftermarket one for a car from ebay or Summit Racing.

10" Ebay Fan Link

I cannot tell you for sure if a 10" fan will fit but it gives you an idea of what's out there. Also, if you get a universal fan, make sure not to wire it backwards.
