I've never seen a KZ with a fan, but in DC the cops have fans mounted on their Harleys because they spend a lot of timing sitting at lights blocking traffic when they are doing escort duty for the bigwig politicians. Ed

I was looking at fans ,only, alot of them are plastic. I would imagine the hot head pipes would cause this plastic to warp if it was close enough. Again though, it was an idea :) Thanks

I thing he was recommending a high power fan that sits on the floor.
Like you use on a dyno.
NOT one to wire onto your bike. :laugh:

You are correct; that is what I meant. I may have worded it poorly. Ed

Just went for a ride, and power was gone :/ checked spark plugs, glossy black like wet black. Cleaned them off and put them back in a no change. Its still killing plugs. This time it was the ngk B8ES plugs. Can I put a bigger fuse in to let more power through? My ignition is a replacement, maybe I should try putting the original one back on. Fuel levels seem fine it runs at the 1 on the rpm guage so that's good. Plug has a funky smell of gas. I would ask whats the hottest plug I can run but I have a feeling it will just kill the new plugs too. This is getting irritating,

Could it possibly be oil-fouled? I mean It has a funky smell so its hard to tell If its gas or oil. I want to say it smells like gas,
