Yeah, the fan sensor switch goes bad in these bikes. It is a cheap fix - about 20 dollars - i paid for mine, although it is under warranty. If you want a warranty fix, ur gonna have to find out a way to overheat the bike at the shop so they can see it. Otherwise, it up to you. DON"T run the bike without having it fixed!!!!!! It will shutdown on it's own when it gets too hot, but thats too late anyway,YAMAHAFAN said:The last two times I went out riding, my fan never came on. I was thinking of putting a manual switch so I can turn it on whenever I want. Has anyone else done this?
I took it completely apart and it was connected.MONSTERMATT said:unless you pull the tape off and take it out of that plastic piece u wont know if ur connectors are "fastenend" or not, on about 90% of these 06 rappys, the bullet connections are not "pushed in " all the way, im betting more than anything that is the issue , make sure you check, doubt it is the switch
If the warning light came o you should check the fault code. You may have a bad temp sensor or an ecu issue. Make damn sure the fan connector is together. Mine looked like it was connected but I gave it a hard push just to make sure. Sure enough it was not connected all the way.colo said:Just one question. I have the same problem and i followed every step ( check the fan motor, bullet conector, realy, etc.....)and the fan still dont come on. the other day the warning light came on, i stop and checked the engine and it was not overheated. Why would that light came on and why the fan would not come on?????

yeah, you are probably early enough to have one of the NOT plugged in ones. You may want to double check your fuel pump too......never know.colo said:Mine is an 06 and the frame # ends with 12716....................
