For those that remember the problems 3 or 4 years ago w/our fans. Mine went out last summer on my 06. replaced it and I am wondering if the newer ones are more reliable, etc. I do not want to go to the problem of putting on a comfort kit only to need to tear into it every 10-15K miles to replace the fan. Seems like all the little problems w/the 06's have been pretty much taken care of but also seems like they did it quitley. The healdight houing, fuel pump, and the fan(?). | ||

If you do the CK your fan will come on less and last longer. That's mostly the why I put the CK on. | ||

And does it run any less? We, 06'ers, do not have the luxary of the reflash. | ||

I haven't got the reflash, just the comfort kit, and the fan definitely runs less. From what I understand, the reflash actually makes the fan run more at speeds above 15mph, but less at speeds below that. | ||

On my '06 the kit does make the fan run less, but more importantly, is it's reason for being called a "comfort" kit. Much less rider heat, the seat is much cooler on hot days. I replaced my original fan around 20,000 miles. It gave me some ill sounding noises for 5,000 of those. I have 25,000 on the replacement and it still sounds fine. I believe there was a problem with the grease being below standard for the amount of heat they absorb. | ||

All I can say for sure is, the fan was updated at some point. Somewhere along the line, the part number went from .02A8 to .02A8A, indicating a revision. But the system won't let me look up *when* it occurred, only *that* it occurred. |
