My Gen II often reaches 200+ degrees once I exit the freeway and travel a few blocks to my work. Because the fans turn off with the main ignition key, I tend to stay with bike turned until the fan cools the engine enough for the fans to turn off. If the fan was wired hot I guess it wouldn't be a problem. Kind of a pain. An override switch would allow me to start cooling the engine once I exit the freeway and eliminate the need to wait for the engine to cool down before removing the key and heading indoors.
It seems there is a well know fan switch mod for the Gen I, whereby a switch is installed to bypass the fan relay. When I came to apply the mod to my Gen II, I found that the fan relay was nowhere to be found and the wiring noted in the mod (notably this one: Fan switch and temp light question? - FZ1OA Message Board) could also not be found. Based on the date of the posts in that link, and the dates of other fan mod blogs, I can only assume they apply to the Gen I only
So, does anyone know how to install a fan switch that bypasses the temperature switch, without triggering the engine temperature light?
Any help much appreciated!
