OK.. just check the online fiche, and the F4 and F4i list the exact same thermofan switches... so the lower temp one that was listed above should fit the F4 as well.. can anyone confirm?

 

Did the switch mod yesterday. Took about 30 min, but I have the fairing off already. Sorry I didn't take any pictures during the process, but it's so easy you'll get the idea with these.

First pic is of the wires, bottom wire is the lead going to the fan switch, the top one is a ground on the fan mount.

next pic is of an old switch, $4 radioshack variety. I picked up one with an extra connection to illuminate the switch. I didn't run another line to power the switch cause how needs a trick radiator switch.

Last pic is where the switch is mounted. Not a good place, it hits the ram air hose. I'll fix that some other time.

Hope that help

just did this mod and my fan comes on at 200 instead of 220 thanks a lot man for the write up

 

Just a thought but has anyone thought of maybe having the fan come on with the bike in neutral? I don't think it will have any problems cooling while moving just while sitting still right? Any insight?

That's a good idea, but even while moving at 35 mph there's still not enough airflow through the radiator to keep the temp down.

 

I live in Yuma Az, and sofar this year our temps have been between 105 and 110, and sofar my fan hasn't kicked in at all. my temp gauge hasn't moved while riding but it has maybe moved a bit while sitting at the light... i don't know.
