Certain components of the motorcycle will be hot immediately after road test. Care
must be taken to avoid burn injuries caused by contact with hot components.
Cooling Fan Operation (liquid cooled engines only)
Standard required:
Some models are fitted with a cooling fan variable speed controller. This controls
the speed of the cooling fan(s) at various speeds depending on the temperature of
the coolant.
The fan(s) may come on earlier and at a slower speed. Depending on the ambient
temperature, it is possible the fan(s) may not reach 100% speed.
The fan should operate when the coolant temperature rises above normal operating
temperature. It will stop automatically.
The blades of the cooling fan must not come into contact with the radiator or the guard
which surrounds the cooling fan blades.
There must be no abnormal noises when the cooling fan is operating.
The cooling fan operates automatically, even with the ignition switched off. To
prevent injury, keep hands and clothing away from the fan blades at all times.
Action:
With the engine idling, allow the engine temperature to rise to above normal operating
temperature.
