To whom it may concern,
Guys, my scoot doesn't have a tendency to overheat, even with slow riding at for instance De Wildt. But yesterday whilst stuck in traffic (well as stuck as one can get on a bike) the heat gauge flickered and the temp light came on, but not the fan, so i bridged out the plug where the thermostat plugs in and the fan came on but really rough though, as-if there is a stick in the cowling, ran it for 10 sec unbridged it and bridged it again and no fan again.
I had the bike washed by a local garage recently and she hasn't really reached high operating temp(5 bars where the fan normally comes on) since the wash as it has been fairly open roads with mainly cruising, can it be that Jonas put the WAP too close to the fan in the effort to reduce the amount of elbow grease required for cleaning and in the process buggered the fan? or should I be worried about something else.
O-ja, no signs om manyonaise in the oil and no bubbling in the radiator.
Fanking yous!
