I'll either borrow or buy a test mule as want to beat this problem. It's not rocket science to find a solution so will play around. I'm thinking that an 18" bicycle tube might work as a bead "sausage". Married a long time so used to being wrong about things....

I forgot, with the tubliss system, on smaller off-road wheels, the valve stem added for the tire comes with a rim lock combined with the valve stem. Mark

Robert, you likely know but dropping often bends the fan shroud which can keep the fan from turning. That's the first thing I'd check. It can be seen by simply popping the side shroud, which will give room to work if needed. Second thing would be to check for power to the fan when the sensor wire is grounded. If fan power comes on and off with the sensor on and off ground, then look to the plugs. The fan relay is under the tank at the front and can be checked or swapped for the side stand relay which is under the side stand switch cover. Before getting into surgery, the fan switch normally grounds to the radiator which is grounded by the ground wire attached to one of the three 6 mm fan mounting bolts. If the fan runs when the switch lead is grounded, but not when on the switch, try grounding the wire to the hex side of the fan (thermal) switch. If the fan runs when grounded to a point such as the end of one of the head fins but not to the radiator, the ground is disconnected, or otherwise open. I've seen this when someone didn't properly tighten the ground holding one of the fan mounting bolts. If you haven't put a length of door seal rubber around the radiator side of the fan shroud to seal the shroud to the fan, this might be worth doing as a loose bolt can break the shroud and leave a jagged end to rip the radiator. The seal rubber protects against that and helps stop air from infiltrating between rad and shroud which helps cooling. The wiring information I posted links should cover the testing but more than happy to help. Norm

Thanks for the tip John. The next Goldwing that comes in my shop this winter is going to get the garbage bag treatment.

Even the stiffest sidewall tires (e.g D06) can be spooned on without fuss after 10 mins or so in the solar heater. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

John, next time you're warming tires, let us know and I'll swing by and pick up the garbage. 

 

Gee, officer, I thought it was garbage and was trying to do the guy a favor....
