you want the air flowing from the front to the back so it's sucking air through the radiator

 

look at the fins, but i thinks it clock-wise. not 100% sure . just look at the fins

 

water wetter is a band-aid.

 

let me know tomorrow when yur workin on it. i'll help u out. wish i had more ppl to ride with

 

blue05 anytime i can work on it let me know

 

anyone know what way the fan should spin and how to change my gauge back to f its celceus now

 

i already told you how to tell if your fan is spinning the right way just make sure the air is flowing from the front of the bike to the back

 

when is come to working on my bike my brain goes retarted

 

are you sure its the head? maybe the valve cover?

your leaking coolant or oil?

 

aight first we put the new thermostat in filled everything with super tech 50/50 coolent from wal-mart fans work right radiater in flowing well we let it idle for 20 mins slowly got to 110c with the fan on but once i turned the bike off went up to 120c and flashing hi cuz it wasn't running new thats what would happen over flow is still filled too let it cooled down when to ride the spot and it seems to be running around 105c didn't really ride to long cuz of the nail and peice of metal that are stuck in my tire thanks to ben for helping me out i'll see for the next few days how it runs

 

your letting the air bleed out correct?

leaving the radiator cap OFF tell the bike gets to around 90c then putting the cap back on?

Btw anything up to 110c is perfectly fine.. But if your running that temp WITH the fan on at idle or low rpm something is wrong

 

ya we did all that i'll , run it at idle with the fan off and see what its runs at, i just ran it again earlyer at idle for about 20mins stayed around 84-86 got up to 96 at the end

 

what is normal stunting temperatures for an 05 636 in F ???

I think my fan cuts in at 205-206 is this normal?

 

85C is about 185F so that's about right on the money.
105C is about 220F so that's a bit higher but perfectly acceptable.
115C is about 240F, doing damage much above that.

Normal operating range sounds like 85-110.

I'll check today and let you know how to change your guages back.

 

Sorry, forgot to add this post.

Your fan should be coming on before 220F, so you're good.

 

Thanks

 

tokwik thnks man i'v searched everywere online to change gauges back git nothing

 

its def. the head not the valve cover... right under the headers..
but seems like only when im doing stoppies at hight rpms..

 

05-06 636 fans come on at 215.

 

If I reading it correctly, it is pretty simple.

Key on, engine off.
Use the mode selector to scroll past the clock and stopwatch settings until you get to the speedometer highlighted. Then while the mode button is pushed in, push the reset button to change between metric and English modes.

The settings should be... Mile & F, mile and C, Km and F, and Km and C.

Push the reset button until you get the correct combination that you are looking for.

That manual shows it being done out of the bike, but I can't see a reason why you can't do it on the bike. Let me know if it doesn't work.
