Kozzer Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 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. Quote Link to comment
Captain Chaos Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Welcome to OSS. First of all, a Teapot/Baboon arse is NOT a Katana. And it is oilcooled. Have you read the forum guidelines? 2 Quote Link to comment
wraith Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Didn't even know the oil cooled ones had a fan? Is it a water cooled bike being 2006? Quote Link to comment
TonyGee Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 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 ???? 1 Quote Link to comment
Kozzer Posted August 26, 2022 Author Share Posted August 26, 2022 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. 1 Quote Link to comment

Wee Man Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 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. Quote Link to comment
Kozzer Posted August 27, 2022 Author Share Posted August 27, 2022 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 2 Quote Link to comment

Kozzer Posted August 28, 2022 Author Share Posted August 28, 2022 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. Quote Link to comment
Poldark Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 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.
