Default Extra Fan

Since this ISNT in the manual, I decide to ask. Is it possible to install an extra fan on the opposite side to help with cooling? If so, would you be able to splice it into the existing wires that are running the fan now, or how would that be conducted. Thanks

i was lookin at the radiator to try and figure out the same thing because i hate to be uneven lol actually it looks possible if you buy an extra cooling fan unit from honda or somewhere and hook it up and splice it into the other fan i dont foresee a problem... havent really thought it through that much but it looks like it should work hope this useless piece of info helps lol

Are you really having cooling problems or when its hot and the fans kick on you want it to move enough air to turn back off? because it shouldnt be overheating

No, I am not having overheating problems, knock on wood. I live in Orlando so my bike stays around 210+ when riding around because of all the stop lights. I just wanted to have extra power to shut it off quicker and cool it down quicker

I live in Illinois and if im not on the highway than the bike runs up to 227 alot of the time.

I think you should just take off the original fan and put a Kawasaki fan on there. Those things are huge.

Well, A guy on here parted his bike out and said he would sell me the fan shipped for 35 dollars, so I didnt know if it would be worth it to buy it andinstall it or what

do you ever wash out the fins?try spraying cleaner on them and let it set for a few mins and spraying water on the fines from the front to wash out bugs and whatever.
