I know this topic has been in here before BUT I want to check if theres any new news on the subject. I have a 2000 DS and the fan finally has gone out on me. Where can I get a fan at a resonable price or a better than OEM replacement?

Also Fourlix, hows the pusher fan working out?

 

Search the forums for the word spaal or spal. That's who made it, It's like $70 from the MFR with a better warranty - though I doubt they'ed replace anything under warranty if the core comes back looking like it's been used on an ATV.

 

I copyed this out of the forums a while ago, not sure who posted it but the info. is all there to get the stock replacement fan


I guess it was finally my turn to experiance this unfortunate circumstance, thankfully I wasn't too far from my truck and caught it befor any damage was done. With the on set of spring and warmer temps, my ride this weekend was cut short by the engine overheating and the indicator light coming on. Back at home I tore out the fan after unsuccessfully trying to jump it directly from the battery. Upon opening it I found 3 of the 4 leads to the carbon brushes had become disconnected - I spent an hour trying to repair the thing but found that reassembly of unit was quite impossible.
We have a serious vibration issue as Crashfirepm53
has pointed out in past post. This is something every bomb owner that rides agressively needs to pay attention to befor you do damage to your motor.
I spoke with a guy named Terry at Spal(OEM OF THE FAN) - he is very familiar with the application of their product on the bike and suggest finding a way to isolate the fan from vibration as much as possible. Also this same fan is used in certain medical application and in such has excellent longivity.
NOW FOR THE GOOD NEWS-
My dealer wanted $139.00 for the unit , it is available for $79.00(waterproof unit -delivered) from
OFF ROAD WAREHOUSE in San Diego, CA. 800-341-7757

Fan? Are you nuts? It's friggin freezin! We've got snow on the ground and it's supposed to get down to 14 tonight! But the pusher fan works just fine. We'll see how it does next summer.

 

Fourlix, do you have or could you get me some close up pics of the pusher?
BTW its still pretty hot here in Florida.

 

I live in Vegas and do NOT use a fan!
