1) you can see the cable around the brake tube;
2) the cable goes inside fender;
3) you see the sensor;
4) magnet on bolt with a little silicone, because the first one get off in high speed!!!

Works great since last year, the new magnet with a little silicone never get off. The first magnet I use didn't have enough power for sensor detect so I use a magnet from laptop speaker!!

 

in manual many you can see what is the temp when cooling fan start. My fan start when in dash the point is between middle and top. But I'm totally sure because my dash have serious problems, I need another!

 

With the aluminum in those motors, I'd be nervous if my water temp hit 210, nervous if it hit 220, and shut it down at 230. Does the thermostat have a temp rating on it? I can't think of an automotive t-stat that goes above 190, so in theory when it hits 210, the cooling system efficiency has been exceeded.

I have always had air cooled bikes, so this Hurricane and my new CX500 Turbo are my first water cooled bikes, so I'm still learning.

As far as the spark plug wire\heat shrink thing. I'm pretty sure you can unscrew the cap goodie at the coil, then slide the wire out and have just the bare ignition wire without any boot.

BTW, looking great!

 

My clymer manual says that the fan is supposed to kick on between 208 and 216 (or something like that). How far is the needle on the stock gauge when your fan kicks on? My cooling fan has never worked (the thermostatic switch is bad) so I've never been able to find out for myself.

 

In my is something like that (ebay photo):


But my dash isn't in good condition, you need confirm with another bike for sure.

 

I upload part of original service manual, the cooling system starts on page 23. You can find all information you need to test termostatic switch and another points.
In page 28 they say the same temp 208-216

PSonic, thanks for the links, that helps quite a bit. I installed a new thermostatic switch thinking that would solve my fan problem but the stupid cooling fan still won't work. I've gone through the entire electrical system twice and I still can't figure out what's wrong. It all points back to a bad thermo switch but I have a hard time believing that the new switch I bought from the dealer is broken. Any thoughts?

I got the seat, rear fairing, and tail light mounted. I also installed the Kawaski front fender but I don't have any pictures of that. Yesterday I took the gas tank and fairings to my favorite body shop to get them painted but they told me they were 2 weeks behind . I don't feel like waiting that long so hopefully today I can find a place that can get it done sooner.

Here's how it sits now. Not a huge fan of that headlight, but it does put out a lot of light and it was cheap. I was going to get the acerbis cyclops headlight but I read reports of them not lighting up the road very well at night and they're not DOT approbed. I do most of my riding at night so a good headlight was a must.

 

looks great, except new fuse box spot!!!

To test your fan use 12V direct source on fan plug to see if starts

I need see after you put the fairings, I prefer with fairings.

 

Nice. The rear end looks awesome.

 

good call, did you consider that the fan itself might be broken?
