    Cooling fan / battery drain

    Hey there all...new to the site and just got a 96 600 and noticed the "cooling fan" will stay on for like 10 minutes after shut down even tho the engine was barely warm. This then caused the battery to be drained enough to not even be able to fire it up the following day. Any suggestions?

    Thanks in advance.

        Don't forget to cap off the air ports on the front of the head, by the exhaust ports if you do that. California... where they worry about the emissions from a vehicle that gets twice as far on a gallon of gas than the average car. Just don't know about those folks...

          well either way, charge your battery cuz that fan doesn't drain it that much. it must have been real low already. my fan spins the same way (for 10min after shutdown, no matter how warm or cool it is) and it has never drained my battery before.

            Thanks everyone. What's the easiest way to disconnect this thing? I really don't feel like ripping into it to pull the fan assembly out.

              The leads are only like 6" long off the fan. Just take the fairing bolts loose on the side of the fan so you can reach in, and trace it back to the connector to the main harness. Unplug there and just leave it will be fine.

                all that junk weighs about 5lb.. and the evaporate canister is probably rusted inside and plugged up like mine was.

                  All that junk also makes servicing the bike a pain. Those hoses covered my spark plugs. I'll be doing the valve adjustment this weekend and navigating through all those hoses is one less thing for me to do as all that crap is in a box in the garage.
                  The fan itself is neat though. I wish there was a way to have it suck air out of the inside fairing when it got real hot, maybe make a thermo switch to have it do that. I still have the fan, they aren't cheap, sitting on the shelf.
