Having moved from a Concours to the FJR this year I am used to the cooling fans running when I pull in at the end of a run.

Kawasaki has the fans wired to run the fan if the coolant is above the temperature required to run the fans - they will usually blow for a minute or so then shut off.

If the FJRs been running 'warm', the fans will be running and will shut down with the ignition - they will come back on if the key is turned back on, so the thermostat is indeed calling for cooling.

I wonder if the fan shouldn't be be connected to the battery and not to the ignition as it is now?
