It started with my 85 GL1200I overheating. Found the coolant was low....so refilled the system with all new stuff. Just before draining and filling the cooling system I noted that when the cooling fan comes on it kicks down my electrical system. The lights drop to about 2/3 of their normal intensity. Is this a bad fan motor? Or something else electrial?
Could I also have a bad thermostat or water pump. My bike "Old Blue" just started overheating....not to the point of loosing water out of the radiator or water pump weep hole leaking just the gauge going into the red zone.With the refillof coolant the bike wasfine until I get off the freeway and idlecausing the fan tocome on. It still seems to get too close the redzone even with thechanging of the coolant.
What say you tech wizards. My biggest problem is diagnostics. :?:?:?
