Run a fan for race bike?

[mdabyo]

I have never run a fan on a race bike before. Always removed to save on weight, but i have heard about the Rc's overheating so does anyone not run one? any issues? I have the bike apart and now would be the time to remove it if i am going to.

Thanks!

Keep it on and workout to lose the extra weight of the fan.

I pulled mine, and pulled thermostat too. No issues as long as you're monitoring temps in the pits. Drink a beer to celebrate.

rc390 overheating

My rc390 just overheats and shuts me off. Reading coolant temp too high. Any advice? I drop it off at the dealer hopefully they can get Ktm to asume the cost.Ktm

Maybe your fan isn't working?

I also do not run a fan. No issues

Track bike only so no stop start city traffic. No fan, non glycol coolant. no problems. Bikes running 2 bars cooler on gauge.

ok, but is it always running under the "H"? one or two bars??

For my SV I do not. For the KTM I do. Especially if we get red flagged and are waiting to regrid. Don’t want to sit around letting the bike get hot.

I leave fan on them, do the SPAL replacement so it will work when requested to run . Also remove the oem black plastic shroud from in front of it and use a nice radiator "screen" guard to protect it. That usually works very well depending on your climate. I have done the Samco with thermo delete too but cant say it's helped tremendously.
