I have been thinking about this too because I have a 200w stator so I am sure that I can put a tiny fan that will pull air through the radiator.

I been thinking about this also, maybne a 120mm 12v Rotoron Fan?

The only time I could see you needing a fan is if you want to sit and watch it idle for a long period of time,or you are always just putt puttin around. Just isnt nessesary if everything is working properly and you are moving.

there is a way of doing it......on the old, old, old forums there were about 3 or 4 threads on how to install it. I think those threads will have been deminished to history now though

 

Holyman or boonman might be able to help/ remember what fans were used and how how tey wired them???

 

sorry cant be of more help

Please someone tell us how to wire up the fan and what to use becuase I really dont want to spend 400 on a cooler when the stock cooler does not really face the right direction of the wind right now so I think a fan will help draw air through the cooler.

i am thinking of the fan as well. There are tons otrails here in FL...so its hard to haul ass all day long. here is what i am thinking:

 

get a small deep cycle battery that you can charge and kill all the time.

hook it to a switch and then to the small fan on your radiator. Any time that you are in a tight trail, or have to move slow....click that bad boy on until your moving quick again.

once that battery is getting dead, or after every run, Charge it back up in the shop!

 

So this way there would be no charging probs with stock stator....no need for $$$ aftermarket one.

 

what you guys think?

I seen a guy run a heater core from a car and fan under his seat. Looked like a nice job and worked well. I think he found the stuff at the dump so he did good.

That sounds like a lot of work. I would just throw in some engine ice and a cool head. Or if you want to drop the $$ buy a bigger radiator.

I would think it wouldn't be a bad idea for trail riders who can't always open it up & get some air rushing through the radiator. I couldn't tell you how to wire it up to you stator...but if you're not too concerned about wait & don't have an airbox anymore, you could probably rig up a little lawnmower batter in there & have it on a switch powering 1 or 2 12v fans on the radiator. You'd have to fab some sort of mounts though. Probably wouldn't be too hard at all, just would take a bit of time fabbing everything. :cheers:

Just get some in-line coolers, drop the temp AT LEAST 30 degrees.  ;)

Do those actually work? I have been curious about them, but I have never seen anyone run one where I ride.
