Just bought an 01 beta 200, nice bike, but the fan seems to be hitting the shroud, and hence is not spinning when I run the motor hot.. Not sure if it was damaged / moved in transit, or if it has been like this for a while. I'll pull it all apart tommorrow & check it out., but just wondering if there is a dismantalling procedure on the web somewhere?

Also can anyone can suggest tests for fan, thermo switch etc. are they 12v devices or 5v?

Is there a common cause of the fan hitting the shroud?

TIA for any info.

i do know you can tets your fan off a car battery as i have done this many of times. sorry i cant help you with anything else

Thanks for that, it helps, as I wasn't sure it it was a 5v, 6v, or 12v system.

I'll pull it all apart today & try & figure out the rubbing.

In the hope it will help someone else....I found the problem.

The wiring connector had moved / fallen down and was pressing on the

fan shroud which caused it to rub to fan blade

in testing I also noted that 2001 beta fan takes a long time

to com on, and then only breifly. Might be different on a really hot day :-)
