As long as you stay moving it should be fine since thats how the water pump works. I feel like that should be covered by warranty though...fyi mine is stiff as well maybe check to see if its getting power?

 

Im going to run some diagnostics on it tomorrow. The only thing I changed was that I removed the OEM O2 sensor for Akrapovic's.

 

Before you replace the fan,make sure that this is indeed the culprit.
Was it working before?
If yes ,then I find it extremely unlikely for it to broke.
My suggestion is to go to a dealer to have the bike plugged as the O2 sensor affects more things than you can imagine.At least at these euro 5 bikes.
Also,warranty?If the fan is indeed broken then they should change it.
Don't let the bike get too hot again.117C is a lot.Hitting that temperature again could create serious issues.

 

I did shut the bike off as soon as it happened when I went to go sit on the bike. I let it cool down for a few mins and went out to ride it. I will reattach the harness and see if the fan will spin. It has been working before but usually it hasn’t gotten that hot until now due to warmer weather.

 

IMHO don't risk again to try it.Go to a dealer.
The fan starts at 106.If it doesn't even if you immediately switch it off,since the bike is not moving heat builds up and temperature will increase a bit more.So you'll hit 110 oC again.

 

I am confused as to why the first thing one should do other than check the connection is not take it to the dealership if it's under warranty?

 

So they can screw something up and void the warranty, then bitch about it.

 

This has never happened!! Haha
my local “master tech”is a master dumb-****. There is people in places that have no idea what they are doing and still able to Fake it till you make it.. scary place we live in if we don’t stay vigilant!!
I’d rather drive 1 hours for a real mofo to see my Moto’s.

 

First thing I woulda done was check the fuse.

 

You could also pull the temp sensor out and test it in boiling water.

 

Why start tearing sh&t down when you have a warranty?

I used to race. Built my own engines, did chassis mods, rebuilt my shocks, so I feel fairly competent with wrenches. That said, when I buy a brand new bike and sh&t isn't working right, the dealer is there to make it right. That's their job as representative of Yamaha (or whatever brand). Even if I could possibly fix it faster.

 

Im sure the temp sensor is fine if it’s reading on the dash.

Could be a relay or fuse or the 02 sensor is getting the computer confused and is not finding the conditions to run the fan.

Maybe the fan is caput, you can try applying 12v to it.

I would have the dealer check it out for sure since it’s warranty.

Vcyclenut can tune the ecu to run the fans at 195 instead of 220 which I plan on doing with him soon. This bike gets warm quick, unless Im just fat. Of course do that after you get this sorted and you get the ECU recall flash (it will overwrite any tune)

 

Any news on your fan? Mine is broken the same way. Stop coming on, then stiff. And after all I realized that the fan motor is burned out. Got the used one.

 

Yes! the metal flange thing on the radiator was blocking the fan from spinning, I guess when I was installing an exhaust I bent it just a bit for it to block the fan. I didnt know that the circle around the blades spun as well, I thought only the blades spun.

 

My bike runs up to 190 degrees pretty easily, often 200 if it’s warm out, but never over 205.
