Radiator fan not kicking in - 1996 ZX6R

Postby wullieb1 » Thu May 21, 2009 7:35 pm

Looking for some tips here folks.

Right managed to get the bike built up to a level where i can start and run it.

Let the bike run for a while to see if the fan would kick in and it didn't. Turned it off and yo could hear the thing bubbling through the expansion tank (if thats the right word lol)

Anyway i was thinking that it was either the fan its self, thermostat or temp sender.

So where does the fan get its feed from for cooling the radiator??

Did you bleed the cooling system first :(

Did't drain the coolant system bud.

Was only plastics and the ignition module i changed over.

Didn't start it as it didn't have the exhaust fully fitted ;-)
