I truly apologize if this is a dumbass question but I am whack when it comes to electrons:
I have one of those spal aftermarket cooling fans for the radiator described elsewhere on motobrick, the OEM fan needing replacement. Maybe 25K since the fan went in, no real issues.
I put a manual switch in so I could turn the fan on whenever I liked, described elsewhere on motobrick. Good value so far.
At idle, if the fan is on due to heat or me kicking the switch, you can hear it cranking away down there. If you raise the RPMs by 4-500 the fan spools up noticeably faster. Drop RPMs, fan drops speed. I think it's always been somewhat like this but now it's quite pronounced.
Is that typical behavior or does that indicate an issue with the fan or alternator or something? The battery is a fairly new Odyssey 680 and holds a charge great, never needs the trickle charger, probably perfect.
'97 K1100 - no heated gear or anything not stock other than a headlight relay system added (again thanks to motobrick…). I have a couple of the free Harbor Freight digital multimeters and would be delighted to put one to use if I knew what it does…
Thanks!
