Wilsons Sandbox

My fan switch went bad last year and I searched several auto parts stores for a compatable switch. All I found was a mid 80's Volvo switch for $45 which would fit but the connecter had to be changed to match the KLR wiring. You might find one cheaper at a junk yard but I decided to get a new KLR specific (nipondenso) from Ron Ayers. Price was about $45. By the way, If you are near Fremont, CA, check with Fremont Cycle salvage. They should have my buddy's A6 which was totaled due to a deer incident. The fan switch on that bike is the new one I got last year. I'll bet if you sweet talk Eddie, you might be able to trade your bad switch and a few bucks for the good one. Eric

And there, in a nutshell, is why I never buy parts from salvage yards. The guy who buys the bent radiator expecting at least a cap and fan switch is going to be pissed. Devon

Hahahahhahaha. Good one!
