Fan for 99 Venture

[StarRider07]

My buddy is suddenly having a little bad luck. First the ignition needs replacing. See previous post.

 

Now it seems that the sensor for the fan is not working. The fan itself works, however when the bike gets real hot, the fan will not come on. Dealer says the sensor is gone and needs to be replaced. Apparantly from what he understood, he has to buy the whole fan assembly (fan and sensor) and guess how much??????? $355.00. What is Yamaha trying to do to their customers? Sure sounds like price gouging to me.

 

Is there an aftermarket available? Can only the sensor be replaced? Help.

 

Trust you guys and gals. Sure can't trust the dealers and or Yamaha.

 

Thanks everyone.

Saw this item referenced in a post by SledgeHammer...maybe something to look at. Its a replacement sensor, for $54 plus shipping. Probably over priced, but still cheaper than the OEM price. I dont beleive the claims about higher horsepower...but still, it may be the way to get that 99 back on the road.

You can check of the Fan is working by simply shortcut the two Wires at the Connector with a Wire and Ignition on.

That how we know that fans works. We bypassed and put power to the fan. It works. Dealer says it is the sensor.

Thanks Squeeze. Now that is strange. Part numbers for sensors yet the dealer said have to buy fan and sensors at over $350. Hense the term Stealers.

[Squeeze]

probably add 'dumb' before Stealer ?

In your Analysis, did you only rely on the Temp Gauge or did you measure the Temps of the Water ?

 

 

You know, red Zone is a wide Range and sometimes the Sensor for the Guage has a Contact Problem ...
