so i'm on a 600rr, full fairing, header wrap and water wetter, fan howired. still cant keep it on a stable temp!! there is almost NO room to mount a second fan.. any suggestions? i'm thinking about mounting the fan on the FRONT of the rad with some industrial tie-wraps.. just hope i can clear the fender!

 

I was thinking the same.

 

So I'm thinkin a computer type fan mounted on some g13 fiber board(wut rc car frames r made out of)

Pushing air into the rad. After this weekend ill def b comming up wit soMething to keep this bike cool.

 

I had an 04 600rr. Mine would run from 220~237 in town or a lot,fan ran all the time. Never had a problem. Stock fan turns on at 221 and I'm not sure when it goes off mine never did unless I got on the interstate.

 

Get a lower thermo stat so the fan turns on at alower temp. they do make them i just for got who

 

I was thinking of pulling out my thermostat this summer. My **** gets redonkulously hot. A second fan of some sort as well.

 

He said he got the fan hardwired so its always on so that wouldnt help him.

 

true..

so my buddy is coming over and were gonna try and mount this r6 fan i got on the front of the rad, then pull down the front end and see if it hits.. if it doesnt, i'll ride hard this weekend.. i ordered a high rev 1 inch thick computer fan to mount on the inside of the rad instead, if it works good ill let yall know the fan specs..

 

Let us know da!

 

I've heard good things about the r6 fans!

Let us know if u got the PC fan route..


My 636 gets hot as the dickens...whut ever that means

 

Ive been running two fans for a while on my f4I. Although it doesnt look like theres room i bet you can put something on it. ZX fans are fast and small. I pop rivited 3 pieces of sheet metal through the (1) top and (2) bottom parts of the radiator bent them at 90 and then bolted the fan through those. Took about two hours. I also spliced into the original fan wires and just doubled the amperage of the fuse and it works like a charm.

 

Hey Lex,

I think the problem with modern bikes is that they have less water in the coolingsystem to reduce weight. dito for the radiators, all about weight saving .... thats probably why it's so jumpy. My stock R1 on the road fluctuates between 60 and 105 deg.C with normal riding.
But high temps like 110 - 120 degc doesn't mean it's a problem right away.
and the higher the temperature, the better your efficiency of your radiator.
I shouldn't worry to much unless it's really excessive.

my 2 cents ....

 

the r6 fan didnt fit

 

if it gets up to 110 the bike doesnt run as crisp as it should.. it isnt THAT much of a difference but it doest stay stable.. the temp keeps on rising!

 

I'm not 100% sure, but I believe there's a company that makes slimmer fans

 

The R6 must have a great cooling system or fan, mine is stable 98-100C when doing cicles or whatever

 

experienced the same thing with my 600rr . once it hit a certain temp power went into the toilet. didnt have the issue when it was sf , but these bike are beautiful ff

 

does clearing out the cats help at all?

 

wouldnt know..

 

i got a gixxer and i just cut the fan wire and ran a switch so when i stunt i just turn it on all the time keeps my bike under 200.
