LOST A LOT OF COOLANT PARKED UP IN LAY BYE any ideas
- Thread starter bimota
- Start date
don,t know if the red SAMCO hoses have anything to do with the 114c when fan starts plus the flash don,t know
but if you know where the relay is i,ll swop that out

fan is running now, i stripped the bike down cleaned the fan plug up started bike the fan kicks in now every time, but at 114c guys are saying
to high, should be 104, and saying is the relay sticking now so i don,t know
the fan is working now perfectly i have a flashed bike with samco hoses don,t know if thats why its kicking in at 114 but every time its 114
rob
been in contact the last 2 days with TABASCO and he agrees my flashed bike having the fan kick in at 114c not a normal bike at 104c is fine
thats what happens so time at last to put it back together and go for a ride

Rob,
It might be too late now, but dielectric grease is NOT what you want for your connector. I'm not saying it won't work, but it is normally used as a barrier to prevent electricity from conducting. You can use some corrosion inhibiting spray or grease if you have that on hand.
Edit... after posting this I went on the internet to refresh my memory so as not to give you misinformation. As usual, half the idiots posting about dielectric grease think that it HELPS conduction, LOL, so the information they are giving is wrong from the outset. I think where the confusion comes from is that it IS good for electrical connectors, just not for the actual metal to metal contacts within the connector. So, yes, you can dab some dielectric grease on the connection itself (better for the rubber parts)to seal out moisture and make it easier to unplug in the future, but if you actually want to protect the metal pins themselves, especially if you feel they were corroded, use what I said above.

to be honest,
i asked the garage that did my valve service about it, i,d said i wanted to try to protect that plug as its a pig to get to mention filling it with that
dielectric grease, the mechanic sain NO just give it internally a good clean the meatal prongs etc, contact cleaner and close it up don,t use grease or cover the plug with electric tape, so i took his advice and left it

So was it the 'fan motor coupler' shown on page 8-171 of the shop manual?

I figured all along it was your red crash bars causing the problem. They look hot.
The whole bike looks hot !.
I put a cover over mine when i park next to it as it gets so shown up !

Sorry, you misunderstood. I was not meaning to call anyone out on here. The idiots were in reference to video's on You Tube where people that should know better, (Scotty Kilmer for example) were touting it as a conductive grease.
haven,t got the workshop book, it was the electric jack plug off the fan motor , the fan motor plugs into the harness under the air box
a few in the uk on facebook have had the same issue corrosion in that plug

lol pig getting the panels off with this lot attached lol

I'll start by saying I'm one of those idiots, 'cuz I've always coated my positive batter post, bulb sockets on my Jeep, etc. But your statement kinda contradicts itself. So, it doesn't help conduction? But it's good for electrical connectors? How can it be both? To me that means it doesn't help the metal-to-metal contact, but it protects the metal-to-metal contact? So, if he cleans the contacts, then covers them in dielectric grease, it should protect the contact(s)? It's never let me down, and I've never had corrosion. And Vaseline has been used in a pinch.
Yes . . . . no. . . . maybe?
