Motorcycle Cooling Fans

No matter whether your motorcycle’s engine uses a liquid cooling system or employs heat sinks on the cylinder heads, you have to make sure that the motor doesn’t overheat for it to operate properly and efficiently. If you live in one of the sunny states where the temperature often exceeds 100 degrees or you tend to participate in low-speed riding activities, such as parades and rallies, you may want to upgrade your cooling system with one of our motorcycle cooling fans. Such an accessory can easily increase the airflow through the radiator of a liquid cooling system or fins in air-cooled motors.

Motorcycle cooling fans work exceptionally well in hot weather and extreme riding conditions, especially if they are used in conjunction with aftermarket radiators that may feature reduced weight, better durability, and maximized coolant flow. To ensure the proper operation of the cooling system and extend its service life, you’d better inspect and maintain its other components, such as water pump, thermostat, filler neck, coolant hoses, and so keep them in perfect working condition. If some of the parts start showing signs of wear, replace them in time to avoid further damage to the system. In the case of an air-cooled motor, you can only add or replace a cylinder head fan.

Motorcycles equipped with air-cooled engines are highly susceptible to overheating since their temperature is completely dependent on the amount of air flowing through the fins on their cylinder heads. The lack of heat dissipation in slow-moving traffic or situations where the rider is forced to stop frequently can cause the engine to overheat, lose its efficiency, and experience accelerated wear. The most effective and popular solution to the problem is the installation of cylinder head fans that can engage automatically receiving a signal from the thermostat or be activated manually. These fans blow enough fresh air through the heat sink on the cylinder heads to cool down the engine to its optimal working temperature.

Besides making your engine cooler even under the scorching summer sun, these fans can make your bike look cooler as well. In our virtual catalog, we have gathered an assortment of premium quality motorcycle cooling fans by such renowned brands as JIMS, Trail Tech, Outside Distributing, and others. Here you can find cylinder head cooling fans featuring smooth, streamlined design which can quickly reduce the engine temperature by as much as 100 degrees. Since the fans must be installed on the bike’s side where the horn is usually located, the horn is relocated inside the fan housing to offer a complete, clutter-free look of the exterior.

For motorcycles employing liquid cooling systems, we can offer digital fan kits that come with radiator guards and LCD temperature displays. The electronic system can monitor the performance of your cooling system sending the signal to the fan if its temperature exceeds a higher limit of the optimal range. Usually, the fan automatically kicks off at the 140 degrees mark. Alternatively, you can turn on the fan manually. Just make sure that your cooling fan is wired properly and can be activated only when the ignition system is turned on. It prevents accidental draining of the battery. Don’t stress your engine with excessive heat risking to end up with expensive repairs, choose our motorcycle cooling fans.
