2006 Katana 750

[Kozzer]

I just picked this bike up as a project. I’ve got it running but the fan won’t shut off unless I pull one of the battery cables. Any ideas as to what might be causing this?

Thanks for any help.

Welcome to OSS. 

First of all, a Teapot/Baboon arse is NOT a Katana. 
And it is oilcooled. 
Have you read the forum guidelines?

Didn't even know the oil cooled ones had a fan?

Is it a water cooled bike being 2006?

[TonyGee]

2006 is the last (i think) of the GSX750F and is an oil cooled bike.  I wonder if someone has fitted a fan ? if so their must be a switch somewhere ????

It is oil cooled and the last year of the GSX750F was 2006. The parts schematic on rockymountainatv shows it to have a fan, looks just like the one on the bike, lol.

Link? Maybe fan is US model only.

First thing to check would be the thermostatic switch, wherever that might be mounted? If you have a multimeter, pull one of the connectors off the switch, put the meter probes on either contract and with the meter set for continuity, it should read open circuit when cold. If you get continuity, switch is FUBAR. 

Also worth checking is the relay for the fan.....assuming it has one.

Thought I would give an update. Hate it when people ask a bunch of questions on forums but never share what they found.

This bike is originally from California. Apparently their emissions requires the fan to run 10-15 minutes after the bike shuts off. Seems a bit excessive to me but it is working normally.

Thanks

Who never shared what they found? 

[Kozzer]

I wasn’t talking about anyone in particular. Just stating that I am a member of quite a few different forums and people post problems all the time but never share what the outcome was, that’s all.

California model.  That explains it.  When it comes to motor vehicles and firearms, California is like its own country within the US with special emissions/safety requirements.  If you dear friends across the Atlantic get a "USA" model bike that seems strange, check your paperwork.  We've had that situation here on OSS.

...and please stop taking our bikes.
