Afternoon folks

Anybody repaired the fan motor on an evo/rev3 ...or even techno I think. Or any trials bike come to that - mine is making a dry rumble when running and I suspect the bearings are goosed (good old pressure washer!) A new one is not exactly cheap as they only list the full motor/impeller and cowling as one part - all I think I need is a motor or better still to strip it down and swap some bearings in from a local factors.

Just wondered if anyone has done it before, prior to me getting it started and having it in bits only to find the bearings don't remove etc

cheers

I heard that you can use the fan motor of a water cooled scooter

Have a look on ebay .you can buy complete fan units for not much money and they are not a million miles from a beta one .I think an aprilla sports bike one is almost identical I think

It seems the new Minis have a badly placed oil cooler such that the motor collects all the muck and siezes up - very expensive. An IT friend whose wife had this problem just used the fan off a computer, seems to work OK and reasonably priced. Probably free out of a scrap computer near you.

Look in the Gas Gas forum PINNED.

Yep did this when I had my Gasser, replacement fan assy, about

The fans are made by a company called Spaal, or at least mine was. After trawling the internet looking for a replacement I bought a full price one from Beta.

I was then told that a watercooled scooter fan would fit. A mate of mine has used them a few times. Should have asked him in the first place!
