August 29, 20169 yr Should the tickover be affected by the fan coming on? Also should the fan increase in speed when you raise the revs? Don't remember this happening on previous bike.Cheers
August 29, 20169 yr I've not noticed tickover changing when my fan comes on, but if your idle is low and the fan is already on and you raise the revs, yes, the fan speed will increase a bit.
August 29, 20169 yr Obviously, both are entirely possible The electrical energy needed to run the fan increases the load on the alternator / engine and drags the tickover down a little If the output of the alternator at tickover is less than 12v then the fan will run slow, increasing the alternator / engine rpm and thus the voltage will increase the fan rpm
August 30, 20169 yr Yes to both. Makes perfect sense and is more obvious on smaller motors than bigger motors
August 30, 20169 yr Author Thanks everyone. Can't say I noticed it on previous Gasser I'll rest easy now Cheers
August 30, 20169 yr It is much more prevalent on the new Gassers with the integrated XiU regulator/rectifier. Nothing to worry about.
