Hi All,
Help please. I've read through the other forums on this topic but I'm still stuck.
I've got a 2022 Beta Evo 2t with, I'm told, about 6 hours on it. I just purchased the bike last week. I noticed the few short rides around the driveway that the cooling fan did not turn on. The other day after about 30ish minutes of riding around the driveway the bike started to spit coolant as it was over heating.
I wired a bypass around the thermal switch (unplugged and connected the two wires) and the fan turns on fine. I then assumed it was the thermal switch so ordered a new OEM Beta Evo thermal switch. I installed the new switch last night (very straight forward), refilled the coolant per instructions in Beta Evo manual and went for another ride. Again after about 30 minutes the bike started to spit coolant out the overflow and the cooling fan still fails to come on.
I then rechecked and with the bypass the cooling fan will turn on. Besides the thermal switch and general electrical connectivity, what else could be going on? Is it possible to have received a new faulty thermal switch?
I do have an electrical tester (basic) but would need some instruction on what else to test for.
Any ideas?
Here is the electrical diagram per the 2022 Beta Evo owners manual:
