Possible/Worth to add a fan?

I would run a manual switch somewhere, because I'm competent enough to do that, but the idea of finding a fan plus a temp sensor switch is more electrical than I will ever be

muzzy makes aftermarket parts for big horsepower rockets.

I think he ment this aluminum fan...

That site is showing a fan for the KZ1300... I wonder if that would be a good match for my KZ1100?

FZR 600 was yamaha's answer to Honda's 600 hurricane in the late eighties. It had the new "Genesis" head design and the Deltabox frame. They were made from 89-99 with little to no change. Years ago it was a decent 600 sport bike until Honda 600F2 came out. either way Yami made a ton of them and parts are cheap and plentiful.

I meant the Muzzy's aluminum fan. If you go with a sportbike style fan for the oil coller its probably gonna run close to the pipes. If you go with the Aluminum fan you won't take the chance of the fan blades melting. you'll still need the motor and housing from the original fan with the muzzy's unless they make a whole kit. I've just seen the fan itself ever. Plus the Muzzy's are a good bit more efficient from what I've heard. That said I still run the two stock fans on my TLR.

You'd def want a toggle switch on your handlebars to control the fan as you'll have no coolant temp switch. Alot of guys wire them manual anyways. My TLR fans don't come on to well over 225 degrees with the temp switch. Which is weel over the threshold for a toasted crotch.

i did not think the FZR 600 had the Genesis head, it had the genesis design with the canted cylinders but no 5 valve, but hey i could be wrong, i thought you had to get to the fz750 and bigger to get that.
IMHO i think the oil cooler would provide more cooling than a fan pointing at the engine. and if you are desparate to put a fan i would then mount it to the oil cooler.

im going to mount a small puller fan in between the backbone tubes on my z1 to pull over top of motor when im sitting in traffic,im also going to mount an oil cooler down low;)

Or... just move to a place that doesn't have traffic.:whistle:

i bet a pc fan would work and they only run off of about 12 volts. I used to build my own gaming pc i remember i had fans in it that could move more then 120 CFM. im sure 2 of them would make a noticeable difference in standstill traffic. Some thing like these would do and they are cheap. www.dealtime.com/xPO-Vantec-80x80x38mm-V...-Pin-with-RPM-Sensor

i just looked up what cfm the transmission cooler for my truck would move and its only 400 cfm. So 112cfm has to be more then enough.

I'm pretty sure your right about the head. I meant the overall design canted so far forward.

Oil cooler is def a better option than fan alone. I was thinking both oil cooler and the fan for max cooling.

I think I would want to do both oil cooler and fan(s).

How much work is installing an oil cooler? Will I have to take off more than the tank?

i like this idea
mostly wiremans hidden fan idea.
then i would not be so scared to run a higher compression engine in traffic.
i like the idea of a stealth setup.
got any pictures or diagrams of your idea?
i would like it to be functional but not a eyesore.
hell, if we do this right we can patent it and make some money!
:blink: :woohoo: :lol: :laugh: :ohmy: :whistle: :evil:

just a vision bouncing around my empty head! since im relocating my coils theres a lot of extra room in frame backbone area even with the extra bracing;)
