Author Message   Johnboy777 Posted on Sunday, March 11, 2012 - 08:21 pm:        I toasted my fan today - I imagine it's due to the oil leak from the rear rocker gasket. Anyone know the current part number for the fan unit? I would like to have the # in hand when I go into the Harley dealer - just to make sure they get it right. Also, anyone know how long the fix is - and how involved? Thanks John   Paul56 Posted on Sunday, March 11, 2012 - 08:45 pm:        06 book lists it as Y0050.02A8A. Service manual says remove the shock for access. Haven't had to do it, yet, myself.   Xbimmer Posted on Sunday, March 11, 2012 - 08:55 pm:        The procedure isn't that difficult, although twisting the assembly just right to get it back in can be a little frustrating. You might change out the oxygen sensor while you're in there, Murphy's Law you know. Don't forget to reconnect the fan connector, somebody I know did once...   Johnboy777 Posted on Sunday, March 11, 2012 - 09:38 pm:        Xbimmer, did you remove the shock? Thanks   Xbimmer Posted on Sunday, March 11, 2012 - 10:07 pm:        Yep.   Windrider Posted on Monday, March 12, 2012 - 12:54 am:        http://www.americansportbike.com/shoponline/ccp0-p rodshow/17175.html You can generally get a part quicker from American Sportbike than a HD dealer as they use this magical logistics system by which no Buell parts are stocked and any shipment takes 2 weeks.   Pontlee77 Posted on Monday, March 12, 2012 - 04:20 am:        I'd rock the engine and solve the rocker gasket leak to prevent a next fan failure.   Someday Posted on Monday, March 12, 2012 - 09:47 am:        Plus 1 what Pontlee said!   Johnboy777 Posted on Monday, March 12, 2012 - 10:39 am:        Thanks for the reminder, Windrider - I'll buy it from American Sport Bike. ...   Johnboy777 Posted on Wednesday, March 14, 2012 - 03:38 pm:        Well, as luck (or the motorcycle gods) would have it, all it was, was an incorrect fuse. Someone had inadvertently placed a 10 amp fuse in the fan slot. I simply replaced it with a slightly higher 20 amp, and all is well. The fan runs, although, slightly slower for some reason, but it runs. I guess I dodged a bullet on that one guys – no new fan needed after all. ...   Garrcano Posted on Wednesday, March 14, 2012 - 04:03 pm:        I donīt know which bike you have, on my 2006 Ulysses the fuse for the fan has a 10A piece. You can step up the gauge of the fuse as high as you want; there is a moment where the wire in the harness will act as a fuse because it cant't handle the current.   Froggy Posted on Wednesday, March 14, 2012 - 05:10 pm:        According to my 2006 manual, "The ECM, cooling fan, brake/horn and accessory fuses are rated at 10 amps." I would put that 10 ampper back in. The 04 book shows 7.5 amps instead so even that should be more than enough.   Rdkingryder Posted on Wednesday, March 14, 2012 - 10:47 pm:        Sounds like the fan is drawing a lot of amps. Time to replace it?   Rwven Posted on Thursday, March 15, 2012 - 07:14 am:        I upped the amperage on the fan fuse once. It blew while on a road-trip and I only had a 15 amp fuse available in my kit to replace it with. The next thing in the fan circuit to act as a fuse were the windings on the fan motor. When the smoke cleared I yanked the fuse and rode about 400 miles in 90 degree heat with no fan..no problem...the fan was dead anyway so I didn't really lose anything.   Rdkingryder Posted on Thursday, March 15, 2012 - 09:03 pm:        So far, my fan seems to be ok, but then I'm replacing a bad crank.
