I have had this Dakar for some months now, and I've sort of missed the fan during summer. Have not seen temperature warning light, so I have assumed it was ok. I decided that I had to check things out. My google searches told me I should pull the temperature sensor plug on the right side of...

I was stuck in traffic today. The temp needle was pointing above the T of the word Temp on the gauge, so not in the red but the fan did not come on. I have tested the fan by by-passing the switch and the fan works. At what point should the fan come on?

Problem: The info on the chain gang seems to suggest that if your bike is overheating then you change the fan switch. It seems more complex than that to me. Firstly there is a thermostat under the radiator outlet that has plastic wings to hold the spring in place. These break off pretty...

I'm in need of a good fan for a 2000-2004 F650GS/Dakar. Anyone have one? doc

hi all, i just purchased a f650gs dakar.... i noticed the coolant temp sensor is missing and the wires are just bare... is there anyway to make the fan work without the sensor? if i just connect the wires should that let the fan work? regards, hisham

The fan switch has gone on my funduro i know this part is common to some cars so is available at a car parts supliers.does anyone know which make and models it is common to as it will be far cheaper than bmw dealers.

I'm wanting to check all is ok with the cooling fan, now I've proved the fan works with seperate battery (took plug apart to clean all connections)but how do you test with it all connected? Steve.

A blade has broken on my rad fan. Any suggestions on a cheap replacement or a used fan. Thanks.

I picked up my second hand 1994 F650 yesterday and took it for its first ride having never been on one before. All very good and I am very happy but I noticed the cooling fan was coming on quite reguarly. I was driving in Central London so was stopping and starting quite a bit and I guess it was...
