New to me Buell Ulysses and liking it when up and going. Short legged so getting to the going part posses a few problems. Fell over the second day I owned damit. Anyway I'm in Alaska and the weather has been cool and wet so never heard the fan come on. I'm on my way to Fairbanks on a nice sunny day and when I get near to Delta I stopped for a pipeline picture shot and when I started it up the yellow engine light comes on. It's still running so get to Fairbanks and being a Sunday I go to the nearest garage(Fred Meyer parking lot) and do a recon. Fuse to the engine control group is burnt. Computer service manual says its a fan problem which I believe because it never came on as did the ones on the factory test ride bikes I've tried did. From the Utube videos it looks like quite a project just getting to the fan. Any good advice from someone who has been there?
...from what I know about fans there is ussually a relay...if you find it pull it and clean the points..sometimes they get oxidized...so clean and put dialectic grease. This advice comes from experience wiht fans on Crown Vics...not fans on bikes...but I would not be surprised if the principles are the same...good luck
