Morning mate, http://www.vstrom.info/Smf/index.php/topic,7061.0.html second post by our very own Greywolf will allow you to check the fault code. Fault code should point you in the general direction. It will be a faulty sensor connection or sensor. Brainier people will be along later.
To be happy, I don't need private helicopters,a Florida house or a yacht. I'm fine with my motorcycle,a trip to a forest in Bavaria and some lunch money.

Just flashed the plug over and it showed

C60 Cooling fan relay circuit malfunction

Is that a hard job to fix ?????

I assume it's just the relay gone  :shrug:

It could just be just the relay. That's easy to fix by replacing it. It's under the seat between the fuse box and and the right side of the frame on a Glee.




It's shown as pictured on a Veek.

Pat- 2007 DL650A was ridden to all 48 contiguous states. 2012 DL650A outlasted me.
Nicknames I use to lessen typing, Vee = 2002-2012 (K2-L2) DL1000s. Veek=2014+ (L4+) DL1000s. Wee = 2004-2011 (K4-L1) DL650s. Glee = 2012+ (L2+) DL650s

Thanks Peeps .... Kwackboy has had a look and it's definitely the relay .... New one on its way.

Fecking typical though .. fault light was on all the way to the shop .... Kwackboy comes out and the fault has cleared ... I ride away and the light comes on.

Always the same, customers call the shop with an issue and when they arrive it's gone .  :angry-banghead:

Because of this forum Holmsey already had knowledge of the issue already . I just confirmed his suspicions and eased his worry.   :fix:.
