Hi,

The fan should not actually come on untill the engine goes over a temprature set by a thermostat,
when riding around normally the fan doesnt normally come on except when you are waiting at traffic lights or staying still,

You can test the thermostat just start the bike and let it idle the fan should start between 80degC and 90 degC if the engine temp goes over 110 -120degC and does not kick in there is definately a issue there with the thermostat, it doesnt sound like the wiring, fuses or relay as it runs for you sometimes.

Hope this helps:)

It shuts off when there's no vacuum (engine not running) as long as the fuel switch isn't in the "prime" position.

Information stolen from another site I use says the following:

use the oil and coolant that the manufacturer recommends in your owner's manual.

if you plan on taking it to a track, do NOT use the coolant the manufacturer recommends or any other glycol based antifreeze. use water wetter or engine ice. regardless of what style coolant you use, make sure you have a 50/50 (antifreeze/water) mixture. Make sure to get the Prestone that is silica, phosphate, borate free. It should list this as well as being safe for aluminum radiators.
Antifreeze, any ALUMINUM SAFE antifreeze is fine.

Coolant (there is a difference) if you arenet worried about freezing, Distilled water and water wetter is best. Regarding water wetter: You only need about 10-12 capfuls for the entire system

engine ice, Hp cool etc are good too for both (coolant and anti freeze as well, and track safe for some orgs)

Are you connecting like color codes to like? Wires that were cut in order to install the alarm need to go back together as they were originally. It sounds like you're doing the right thing but you might want to double check the color codes to make sure you din't mistake one for another.

Sounds like your clutch plates are wearing out. (Slipping)

From your description it sound like main bearings or big end bearings.
Did you run out of oil?

If the key comes with the replacement barrel and the existing switch was not damaged other than the barrel, yes it should start.

Yes, cleaning the carbs is needed. The main jets are plugged up. Standard factory settings for the air and pilot screws are one and one-half turns outward from a lightly seated position.

It is located under the rear part of the seat.
Hope that helps.

check petcock for blockage at screen, check vacume/overflow line at gas tank for blockage, check float level for correct fuel level, check coil.

Check all the safety switches. Neutral,clutch, kickstand ect. A manual will help look here:

Use the same oil as always. 32K miles is just now broken in. If you have been changing oil all along

Remove the lower fairing.
Remaove radiator cap, disconnect water hose from the water pump and drain coolant.
Remove the oil drain plug to drain engine oil, remove the coolant reservoir tank.
Remove gearshift lever and engine sprocket cover.
Disconnect water hoses.
Remove the water pump mounting bolt and the water pump assembly.

Replacement is the reverse and don't forget to refill the oil!
