With gas prices today, I don't think I could afford to leave the V-boost on all the time! Sure would make for short trips before re-fueling too. Having said that, I think I'll just go ON or NORMAL with a two way switch when I wire mine up :clapping:

It's ok to "just say no" ;)

Re: How many of you guys bought the temp switch rather than install a manual fan swit Cool. I'll give an update when I get my part installed

First thing, I'd eat off your bike already. :clapping: It looks clean to me too. If you kept the center stand, could use that lock in the back and pull the front wheel off the ground? How heavy is it?

Re: How many of you guys bought the temp switch rather than install a manual fan swit Sam, can you can jump the switch and check the fan? I'd want to make sure that was working before I went out again (unless of course, I knew I wasn't stopping until I got back). Sounds like yours might not be...

Re: How many of you guys bought the temp switch rather than install a manual fan swit Interesting. Doesn't it matter where you measure the temp? The bike has to be 220 at top temp. It's baking my legs and I can feel it on my face. Sam, when you say your fan doesn't kick on, it's really, really...

Wow man, you did everything I intend to do over a year in one fell swoop. Bigger gas tank is on my list too, plus a new seat. Way to be thorough! Congrats! Pictures? Here's what I've done since September (from your list): EBC HH brake pads Progressive springs with Race Tech emulators New rear...

Re: How many of you guys bought the temp switch rather than install a manual fan swit Well, that's kind of what I figured. :biglaugh: I guess you just gotta see it for yourself, I just like my engines to run a steady temp. When they don't, I freak. I was going to put in new coolant, flush it...

I'm a Realtor and houses selling here now are the ones really nice AND cheap. It's not enough to be just cheap or just really nice and the market is supposed to be good here... I wish you the best and hope you enjoy the crap out of Florida! Riding all year rocks, hell... overheating in...

Re: How many of you guys bought the temp switch rather than install a manual fan swit I tried it today in a controlled environment, my garage. As noted before it scares the shit out of me to be stuck at a redlight with nowhere to go and watch the gauge just climbing as my legs and face start...

Re: How many of you guys bought the temp switch rather than install a manual fan swit I'm pretty sure the fan never kicked on. I couldn't hear it if it did. It didn't get to the red, it was heading for it though and it's done it on me before... never got into the red just scares me.

That's a good looking bike, congrats!

After doing a lot of research here, I went ahead and ordered the radiator fan switch kit from VMax Outlaw. Between that, new antifreeze and the water-wetter I hope to eliminate the overheating problem. It was 65 degrees today and within 2 long red lights, the temp was going to the red. I had to...

+2, springs and EBC brake pads = the bike isn't scary any more.

"Is that a V-4?".. "I heard that hauls ass", on and on. Then they ask me why I'm selling the KLR and leave here looking for a Vmax. I guess I need to hide Max! :bang head::punk:
