Temp for fan kick in?? F27 Blade
Hi all,
Any ideas what sort of temperature my electric fan should kick in at on my blade engined F27?? Its getting very hot and I've not heard the fan
kick in, and thinking about fitting an override switch so I can control it myself! Get a bit paranoid sometimes!

Maybe the thermo switch is not working.

Don't know about the Blade, but most modern bikes kick in around 95 degrees, they are quite happy to run over the 100 degree mark with no ill
effects as long as the system is holding pressure.
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

most bike engines run a 1 bar or 1.1 bar radiator cap and don't switch the fan on until 106 deg C and usually switch off at 99 deg C. this gets
a lot of bike owners worried especally if the bike has a digital temp gauge readout. If your car is fitted with the bike thermo switch, then it may
well go over 100 degrees without turning on.
If it can't be fixed with a hammer then its probably an electrical problem.
