Hmm...Gimme a bit. I'll make a drawing for ya. But yep, used the emergency flasher switch. The way the fan thermistor switch works is that it's normally open, and only closes when the bike hits the temp to turn the fan on. By wiring the emergency flasher switch (which is also normally open) into both sides of the fan thermistor switch, you have two paths for the electricity.
In normal operation, the fan only turns on when the bike gets hot and the thermistor switch closes. In 'override' operation, the fan is turned on when you press the flasher button and close the circuit with it.
What's nice is that the wiring coming down from the left handlebar is is very close to the wiring coming up from the motor, so it's pretty easy to locate those wires and do the splicing yourself. Of course, you won't have emergency flashers anymore, because you've cut the wires and spliced them into the fan circuit.
If you need more info, or want some help with the wire colors, let me know.

Shit I just hide a switch I can reach under the plastic, right next to my activation switchs for 1st and 2nd stage NOS...

Does anyone know of a simple timer you could use to turn the fan off if you are using a manual switch?
Like a dummy I left mine on in the lanes and then a car oiled down the track and by the time it was cleared my battery was dead.
quote:2002 an up do not need fan switch so i have heard..
True?
true or not dammit?...
Don't know but I would think so. I have an 01 and I felt it needed one since it gets pretty hot in Bama and from what I have read the water is over 200 when the fan comes on. I don't think that is the best for my 12 and it is not good on my black leathers in traffic.

One thing to remember that the bikes run 195 degrees normal cooling temp when in stock trim. That's the thermostat setting. I think that the higher temp is to help keep the motor hotter, hence leaner, hence better emissions. Just a guess...
