I bought a v for my girlfriend, and I rode it last weekend and I notice that the fan was running a bit when I was ridding but what suprised me, is when I shut the motor off. I could not beleive how long the fan was running ( it seemed like 3 to 4 minutes). It was about 74 degrees out I am woundering wath it will do when I ride it in the 85 degrees. My question is, is your V the same or should I have it checked.
Thank You

Do a search on this....I think there is some sort coolent people use to keep the enigine cooler...I think it might be waterwetter or something like that

 

If it is new, the fan will come on a bit more. When it gets broke in the fan will come on less. I was also suprised that the fan was on so much.

 

The V runs hot, even when broke in. I just bought a in-line cooler from Rockymtn, also waterwetter and even make products for cooling.

 

You might try EVANS COOLANT it works really well. Since I have installed it in my V-Force the fan dosen't come on as much or runs as long after shutoff. You can order it at EVANS.com

 

Couldn't it be bad for your engine to run fairly cool where the fan is almost never coming on?

Due to an accident, I upgraded to the IMS radiator and installed a fluidyne electric fan.. I can hear the fan kick on and off durning long trail rides, and normally will run for about 30-45 seconds after i stop or turn off the bike. I would imagine if I used something like Evan's Coolant, that the fan would very rarely come on, or may not come on again. Would this be good that the engine is running that cool? I heard someone say that the engines could "cold seize" when they are not allowed to run "at temp"... any truth to this?

 

Talk to Alltoys and get a new CDI. The timing change will make the bike run MUCH cooler. My fan almost never comes on, even after hauling my a$$ up a mountain. Also you will get more RPM and no reverse limiter. Price is cheap too!
