Happy Dance!

[seajay]

As some may know, I had concerns with regard to the fan not coming on anymore on my '03 9R. I installed a new engine temp sensor, took the bike to a V-twin shop to see if there was power in the fan. Nothing. No codes thrown. No limp mode. Been running it in the murderously hot desert (111 degrees on average), and the bike still goes. And goes. But not the fan. So today I ran it out hard (because it was fun). When I was finished, I pulled into my garage, and the ever so sweet sound of a hot bike cooling down with its own fan! Yes! Happy dance was performed without shame in the middle of my driveway! Thanks for letting me share.

Replaced my fan recently, blew the fan fuse also...finally died as well as the IAT sensor, replaced that too, codes cleared, sweet music to my ears hearing the fan come to life. I'm impressed by the fact it was the original fan/IAT that lasted 9 yrs or so since the bike was built[up]

Very awesome, thrstrmech! I was afraid something went south with my ECM, was ready to buy another one. Problem is that to buy from EBR, they aren't legal in CA. Go figure! Just happy my bike is running great. So many heating issues with my previous Kawi (too many tow calls!) I'm hyper-sensitive to heating issues. Cheers!

Exactly, unless he's walkin' up with a Torx wrench in hand with his citation book, yer all good!

Just out of curiosity, what is the happy dance?!?!

 

[Pagano]

o0.

Sorta a spontaneous, unique, kinda goofy dance that one experiences when **** goes right, I suppose.

think seajay needs to make a video of the "Happy Dance" since we're a visual crowd

I agree

 

[seajay]

Taking a pic/video of myself??? Seriously, you guys are just killin' me! Finding the resources to make such a request come to fruition cuts into serious ride time. Just sayin'! Of course... unless one of you want to come out here and go riding with me!

 

[thrstrmech]

no changing the subject to riding...this is about the "Happy Dance", oh, let's not forget in full riding gear video or it didn't happen

guys, think we got someone that's a bit shy, she needs a little encouragement.......VIDEO, VIDEO, VIDEO!!!

Seajay

I will gladly video tape your "Happy dance" so no excuses!

 

[seajay]

kbfnail, don't sing it.... BRING it!
