Joel also noted, in his most recent test of our 95K11, that his thighs were burning. That probably can be fixed by a Johnny blanket.
But he was also wondering about the fan, and has proposed pulling it, cleaning it, and lubricating it. I wasn't able to find anything on "preventive maintenance" on the fan: is it worth the effort to pull the fan and attempt such preventative steps?
-
Main thing to do is make sure it runs occasionally. Let it idle after a ride if need be.

Ducker probably has teh answer, but turning the fan once in a while is good prevention. Mine had fried the brush holder, so I am not sure if there is any more prevention, except turning the fan or allowing it to run occassionally.
Taking the fan apart is a major deal, hoses, fairings, anti freeze, etc. Best left to Spline lube days, when everythign is already off. JMO

This. Otherwise corrosion will build up and seize it.
-
The fan does cycle on and off, but sounds as if it's chewing up a bushing or bearing.
