Hi Folks,
New to the forum, I have an '06 GenII that has recently begun running a lot warmer than normal. I've seen as high as 8 bars when stuck in traffic. Bike does cool back to normal 4 bars once enough air runs through the bike. Issue is the fans at first seemed to not be working. Therefore, I've removed the sides and nose to get at the fan relay since that seems to be a common theme here. Bike passes the Diag 51 test fans run. However, if you run the bike with everything off, goes to 7 bars for a bit, then fans finally kick in likely just before going to 8 bars but run only a minute, to 90 seconds tops, then stop, bike only barely cools to 6 bars and idling will be back to 7 bars in just a minute or so. Previously fans would normally run until the bike got back to 4 or 5 bars before cutting off and before bike normally cycled between 4-6 bars, and would only get in the 7-8 bar range on really warm days going really slow or stuck in rush hour traffic. I swapped the two identical relays beside each other, no change in fan operation or temp indication. Not sure where to proceed next, I assume the sensor but with the dash reading I would think it's ok, but perhaps not. Any other ideas? I may just replace the relays (since they've been know to be problematic) and the sensor since I have it all apart currently.
