ZL 900/1000 Fan Circuit Testing Trouble-Shooting & Repair

:hello: I know all too while how frustrating it can get when going into a problem when working on a bike & not knowing :banghead: if you are going about it the right way.
 
:hello: Guys a seller on E-Bay has all of the OEM discontinued switches NOS & relays NOS for the fan circuitry for sell. I bought one of each from him. He still has some. $28 to $49 depending on which one you buy & his prices are lower than anyone else. He bought out a closed KAW Dealer.

:hello: Guys I got my NOS OEM cooling system relays & thremo switches in the mail today that I bought on E-bay. OEM Part # 27002-1055 large relay. OEM Part # 27002-1054 small relay. Both are located under right side of fuel tank. The box far right in the pic OEM Part # 27002-1052 is for another KAW. It comes with 3 relays molded in one rubber sleeve/hood. They have the same maker/manufacturer part # as part # 27002-1054. You get 3 for the price of one. I used a butter knife to remove the hoods to verify that they are the same. Oil pressure switch OEM Part # 27010-1313. Under right side of motor on the oil pan. OEM Part # 27002-1191 oil temp thermo switch. Front of thermo-stat housing which has red/white wire lead. OEM Part # 27010-1188 warning thermo switch. Rear of thermo-stat housing which has white/green wire lead. I'm still waiting on OEM Part # 27002-1180 thermo fan switch. Bottom rear of radiator with black wire lead. IMG_7166.JPG
 
You scored a lot of good stuff there R.J. but you must've cleaned him out cause I couldn't find any of it on his site when I looked.

The first step in healing is idmiting you have a problem.
 
:hello: I just hate when I find parts after I order all new ones. :banghead:. Here is what I all have in stock. I recently seen some NOS fan circuit parts on E-bay cheaper than what I paid for mine. :pain10:. IMG_7419.JPG IMG_7420.JPG

:hello: You can say that they are investments. :laughing7: Meaning sooner than later that they will all be obsolete from MR. KAW. :deadhorse. Most now are obsolete except for fan thremo switch black lead part # 27010-1180 (Price $88:cool: which goes on back center bottom of radiator. Large square relay (Price $46) which goes under the fuel tank located on right side of frame.

:hello:Must correct you: the white/green cable switch (110°C) turns fan on when ign. ON, the red/white cable switch (120°C) turns on red led in tacho - big difference of both: 110 is a closer, 120 is an opener i.e. permanently on ground. The 120 is two times on the bike: front thermo housing and oil pan, only other connection plugs so when upper one fails you can 'switch the switch' w/ the downer one:laughing7:. Most riders I know pull off the oil pan switch cable so only 97°C in rad is working; when mine failed I wouldn't spend 80 bucks so I changed it for 1/2 price+some homework: https://www.zl-oa.com/community/threads/radiator-temp-switch-alternative-97°c.24724/#post-243614
