Default V-Force cooling

Does anyone experience their cooling fan running a lot after shutting off the motor? My V's fan runs a minute or two after a moderate ride but others that have V's in my group don't seem to have that issue. Should I be concerned?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img]

You must drive harder. Actually my fan runs alot too. I've started using water wetter additive in the radiator, since this summer I was riding in 100+ F weather. Now we're down in the 70's and the fan does't run as much. The fan is a noisey little bugger, but I like having it. If you really want to cool down, use something like water wetter. I wouldn't worry about overheating though. I towed a broken sand rail about 2-3 miles through big soft sand dunes in 100F weather and my temp light never came on. That was before I even had the water wetter.

Does Engine Ice work as well as Wetter Water? I did notice during the rides in the Northern country that the fan doesn't come on nearly as much but my primary concern is when we hit the Dunes and the V will definitely be running wide open.

It works as well.

PS the KFX700 likes 22" extremes or bigger. I saw a guy with geckos on sand moutnain, it wasn't pretty.

Thanks for the info. My friens also has the Geckos and rode them at the Cinders and they didn't quite perform they way he had hoped. He has 23" Extremes on order...
