October 30, 201213 yr hello. i have a 2006 txt pro and the fan isnt working. i have tested the fan on a battry and it worked so i want to check the thermostat. do i need to remove the thermostat from the radiator to connect the two wires together or can i do it without removing it? thanks
October 30, 201213 yr Take it off the bike and put it in boiling water and then you should see a continuity between the terminals when it's hot. In fact before you take it off just bridge the terminals while the bike is running and the fan should come on. If it does then its the stat at fault if it doesn't then it would probably be the rectifier.. Edited October 30, 201213 yr by tazz229
October 30, 201213 yr No you don't need to remove it to do that! Just make a contact between the wires and start the bike and the fan should be on. If it still doesn't like I say my guess would be the rectifier.
October 30, 201213 yr As far as I'm aware on the 2006 the wires are moulded in the back, just trace them back till you find where they plug in...

October 30, 201213 yr Author thanks tazz229. i have done this and the fan came on so guess i need a new thermo. although the fan did sound a bit rough when it was running.
October 30, 201213 yr For sure yes defo would appear to be the thermo... If the fan motor is the same as the earlier models (I'm not sure) then the how2 motor replacement at the strt of this forum is well worth a look! I did mine without any real problem. Last thing you want is a failed fan and overheating! Glad you found the problem
