Hi All.
I am new in the forum. I live in the SF Bay Area, have a 2008 FZ6. Bought it new.
I just came back from a trip to Santa Cruz - nice ride through Highway 1. No problems while in the highway - temp meter solid at 160-170 F all the way. However, after getting there (during the stops and goes in town) I noticed the temp meter reached a bit more than 243 F. The red temp light went on. I checked the radiator fan and it was jammed up. I would thing the fuse is gone at this stage.
Form DC-Mac's description, it sounds like something that happens frequently. I have some questions that maybe you guys can help me out.
1) How easy is to replace the fan by myself?
2) Do I need to drain the coolant to replace the part?
Thanks in advance.
