After my 05 Z400 was wreaked I've had to replace A lot of part's. It's all back together now, I had to replace the radiator, and the fan sensor. I can't remeber how often the fan used to kick on. It was only two months old when my son-in-law crashed it. Really don't want to take it to the shop and pay $85.00 an hour if they don't kick on that often. My question when should it be kicking on? Any help would be great. Thank's

I talked to A guy that owne's A private shop and he say's it should kick on more often then it is. It don't kick on unless I've been riding it hard for at least 1/2 hr. thank's for the come back.

in the heat of Las Vegas you would think it should kick on pretty often. have you checked for a coolant temp sensor???

Woulden't that be the same sensor that should kick on the fan? If so that has been replaced. Thanks

mine comes on after about 10 min of riding. your radiator has 2 switches in it, 1 is for the fan and the other a coolant sensor
