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 

Nostradamus probably got it right

Did't drain the coolant system bud.Sulli wrote:Did you bleed the cooling system first
Was only plastics and the ignition module i changed over.
Didn't start it as it didn't have the exhaust fully fitted

Cleaned the contacts and had a play with the connector and its working fine now.
