K-Gents,
The radiator fan motor on my K1 has given out. It's not entirely locked up, as i can turn it, but it's not smooth at all. i have to put significant pressure on the blades to turn it. So, it's gotta be replaced and i will do it myself. If i go by the manual found on this site, it seems like i have to take the who fairing off. My questions are:
* Is that correct? Any way to get the fan motor out without tearing down the fairing? i don't mind the tank and side panels and the like but the fairing .... don't wanna do it unless i have to.
* i read on this site that there are several alternative motors that can be used:
0130007-027 OR 0130007-304 OR 0130007-319
Which one is the right one for a K1? What are the differences? i don't want to buy a new fan assembly OR even get a used one unless i have no other choices.
* Anything else that should be done while i'm at it?
* i will indeed add a switch for the fan going forward. Any good handlebar switches you can recommend? Or ways to use the switches on the bike already? i have ABS and heated grips so i can't use those slots.
Would welcome a response. Thanks!
