anybody gotta problem with this ?

Just got back in here, and the problem you have is exactly what's wrong with another member's ride after he added a fan. Last I read he was getting a fan relay from the dealer. Have not seen his thread in days, so I don't know how it worked out for him. Sounds like you've just rigged yours for manual control.

I bet its to much current going threw that fan relay switch, and its stuck open..does the gen 2 relay work on a gen 1 ??

I think running your fans are going to drain your battery and here's why;

I have a Gen 1 1464cc setup with 2 fans, a 24v starter setup, 12 cell Ballistic battery and 8 cell Ballistic for the backup (starter) battery. Fans automatically come on at 210ish or I have a toggle switch to turn them on sooner.

Even at 60,70,80 mph, having both fans on keeps the temps cooler. They do NOT restrict the airflow at speed, they improve it.

The bike likes to run hot when the outside temps are 90 or above, which forces me to run the fans constantly. Running both fans constantly are draining my batteries and I have no other accessories at all. I wonder if I can get a high output stator?

I'm curious to know if running your fans constantly for any length of time is going to drain your battery.

so the relay being stuck open sounds like what my problem was. ive wired it thru a toggle switch for manual control and its working perfectly. fans stay off while in at speeds then when i hit traffic or go to surface streets i flick em on. my temp gauge looks lika car solid asa rock even in stop n go traffic.
