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

06 book lists it as Y0050.02A8A.
Service manual says remove the shock for access. Haven't had to do it, yet, myself.

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...

Xbimmer, did you remove the shock? Thanks

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.

I'd rock the engine and solve the rocker gasket leak to prevent a next fan failure.

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.

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.

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.

Sounds like the fan is drawing a lot of amps. Time to replace it?

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.

So far, my fan seems to be ok, but then I'm replacing a bad crank.
