wait for fan?

do you guys/girls leave the ignition on after a ride until the fan stops? my first bike...still learning.

 

Nah, just turn her off.

 

If you mean ignition on but engine off, no I don't do that. It seems that would just drain the battery since there really isn't much coolant circulation without the water pump turning.

 

You could do some thing like a turbo timer.

But all I thing you would gain is cooling the fluids in the radiator (location of the thermostat since it does not circulate when the motor is not running.

 

k, so shut her off pull the key and walk away. got it

 

yes. just turn it off.

 

or you could give me your address leave the key in it and walk away, I'll make sure that it cools down............. By the beach eace:

WElcome and you picked a good bike to start with.
