I just spliced in a switch and you can turn it on manually any time you want.

I am also wanting to do something like this. I would like to keep the stock switch for one fan and then have a different switch for a second fan. Has anyone done this mod?

I think this .pdf file from SPAL can be of assistance:

Thanks that helps with the wiring but what thread pitch is the stock honda Temp Switch? Is there a location for a second temp switch?

Since you are talking about "two fans" I assume you have an SP2 (RC51 2002-2006). In that case there's no temperature switch: fans are activated by the ECU using data from the thermosensor (which is fitted on the thermostat housing).

Nope, I am going to try and fit two SPAL fans on my SP1. The stock location would still be handled by the stock thermosensor. The second would be handled by a second thermosensor.

two of the spal's? that should cool your bike off after about 10 seconds in 100 degree heat :rockon

my idea is simple

i want to work my rc in 90-95 Celsius ( i think this is the 'good area' )

the one themperature switch will work from 85 to 90 C with reserved the polarity of the fan for hight speed and i m thinking to put it on the left radiator

the second one for low speeds and safety and maybe for build up machines :wacky :wacky :wacky

Well the temp during the summer can get pretty hot 100+ and riding in the city makes it worse. I had quite a few times last year where I got real nervious about the temps I was seeing on the display.

same here, but i only run one and it solved my issues. hasn't even got remotely close to what it did with the oem fans

the fan it self does not start above 103 C so the only thing that a good fan do is to drop the temperatute more quickly.

the idea is to have the moto work in 90-95 C not 98-103 plus when you are on track on summer

Again: fit Durbahn air scoops and a single SPAL fan and you're ready to go.
If you haven't got air scoops you may also try fitting a VFR or even a Firestorm fan (I have one for sale... ): they are both pusher type and high capacity.

PS: does anyone know why Honda fitted pusher fans to every single bike with side mounted radiators except this one?

does anyone know why honda fit side mounts to this bike?

same reason engineers starting putting fuel pumps inside car gas tanks when they know that there is a bushing on it that wears out after 1500 hours of use, when they could've just bolted the ****ing thing to the outside

To keep their dealership's mecanics working? I fail to see how side-mounted rads accomplish that...

i was just referring to a completely shitty design

air scoops dont work on low speed the goal is the motor work on low and hight speeds at 90-95

Are you absolutely sure? Because I have found them very useful even at road legal speeds.

desperate,if you ever get a shot at some mondial front mounts at the right price,snap them up.can be made to fit quiet easily with a little bit of fab.
