Author Message   Bob_thompson Posted on Wednesday, March 01, 2006 - 07:56 pm:        Found much here in the archives about fan triggering for XB,s but wondering if anybody knows at what temperature the late tubers (2002)ignition interrupt takes place to help cool the engine. Thanks much, Bob   Buellistic Posted on Wednesday, March 01, 2006 - 08:20 pm:        Kit Number(BUELLschitte PART #) Z0008.M ... Switch,thermostat(BUELLschitte Part #) Y0052.K has a code on it which was SELCO CA180 which IMO is 180 degrees ...   Bob_thompson Posted on Wednesday, March 01, 2006 - 09:06 pm:        Buellistic, With all due respect but that seems awful low as I regularly see over 200 degrees on my head temp. guage on the rear cylinder head with absolutely no adverse effects. Is that the sensor for the cylinder temp., the oil or what? Thanks for the quick reply. Bob   Bob_thompson Posted on Thursday, March 09, 2006 - 12:16 pm:        Anybody else that would like to chime in on this? Haven't hit this yet but I understand a few people have in severe conditions.   Blake Posted on Wednesday, March 15, 2006 - 12:37 pm:        Bob, It is way up above 300oF somewhere if my recollection is accurate. The only way you are likely to encounter that cylinder head temp is if you are blasting wide open throttle in high gear for prolonged periods in hot Summer ambient temperatures. My understanding was that the over-temp cutout feature came about as a result of some Autobahn Buellers overheating their engines as a result of prolonged running at 130+ mph. LaFayette is talking about the cooling fan kit that Buell offers for the tube frame bikes. That was introduced to address another issue entirely, one of high fuel volatility in Japan. The fan was intended to cool the intake manifold and fuel injectors in order to prevent problematic premature fuel vaporization inside the injectors.   Bob_thompson Posted on Thursday, March 16, 2006 - 11:32 am:        Thanks much Blake, kind of what I thinking. After installing my fan and temperature guage on my M2 I wanted to know about when to turn it on. I will probably use about 250 degrees as a set point. thanks again. Bob
