radiator fan update

Remember I told you guys that my fan did not start automatically?? Well, I
got tired of trying to fix it myself, so I took my bike to the dealer.
Three hours after I left the dealer, they called me and told me the reason
the fan was not working properly was because there was not enough cooling
liquid in the radiator.... Don t let this happen to you, because it really
made me feel stupid.

JGR,
As my grandfather once told me, "Bub, wisdom is born from experiences and
most those experiences will be the result of our god given ability to be really
stupid. Call 'em growing pains."

Vedy intedestine, since the fan switch is at the bottom of the
radiator.
Does this mean it was virtually empty.
Was there coolant in the reservoir window?
Didn't the temp gauge read hot.
Small inquiring minds want to know.

The radiator was not completely empty, I put a little coolant there. The
reservoir was full. When the temp gauge red hot, I turned the bike off and
took it to the dealer.

You should check and make sure that the nipple on the bottom of the
radiator overflow bottle hasn't melted shut. This has happened to a
couple of people and would be reason for the overflow bottle being full
while your radiator was less so...

nah .. I think that you should
just not try to insert them too
deep like I did!
I guess that people have been using these
for years so they don't come out on the trail
and just stick out a bit.
I'm just guessing though !

I ordered a pair of speed bleeders (from Fred)
for a brake job this weekend ... if the ones I
get are the same what's the suggestion? Just not
use them?
