84vf700 fans not working

radiator fans wont kick in but turn freely. i was thinking of hardwiring them to the main ignition feed so they are always running when the bike is on. suggestions?

 

In my experience (with autos) having the fan on all the time leads to overcooling, which isn't what you want, especially during warm-up. A manual switch wouldn't be a bad way to go, but you'd have to constantly keep an eye on your temp. Have you checked the switch?

 

no i havent yet have to take some crap off the bike and find it.

 

replace stock switch is best bet

 

damn cheapest i can find is 84 bucks. ill just take my $25 switch that was going to go into my trans ams cooling system and use that instead it kicks on the fans at 190 degrees and should be fine for the bike with a thread adapter.

 

I just called Honda for my 85 and they said 48 bucks and about a week away. Still available.

 

Also check to make sure the ignition switch has 6 pins and not 5. The 83 switch has 5 cause they powered the fans differently that 84 and later.
