[quote="taygold"]Here is a link to my build thread: http://metricmoto1.wordpress.com/category/ninjette-street-tracker/ I'm starting to wire an 05 ninja and I have a quick question about the cooling fan/ radiator. I've wired many bikes but only 2 water cooled and they were all very unique (CX500 and GL1000). There is a sensor on the left side of the radiator with a 2 wire lead. Am I right to assume this is a temp sensor for the fan? Above the head there is another sensor with a one wire lead, which I am guessing is for the temp gauge (or I should say, "was" for it). Do these bikes have a thermostat? And if so, are they electric or mechanical? I was just going to run the fan through a manual switch, so the two sensors I mention above would be left disconnected. But if either of them actuate a thermostat then I need to wire them in. If anyone has any input I'd love to hear it![/quote]

I could run a long tube from the rad down under the bike for excess to drain instead of going into the res. I know some engines need the res however and utilize the overflow regularly. So I don't want to run without it if that's the case. <br /> <br />any input would be awesome. I'm considering using a steel flask, tapping the top of it, and mounting it right by the radiator if I have to have one.</span> <br><img src="./uploads/860219.jpg" alt="IMG_6982 - Copy.JPG"> </td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/ninja250rc/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="15%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a href="profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=5" name="860155"><b>MIK</b></a></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><span class="postdetails"><img src="templates/ninja250rc/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /> Posted: Mon Jun 23, 2014 6:20 pm<br> <img src="templates/ninja250rc/images/spacer.gif" width="12" height="9"> Subject: <a href="viewtopic.php?p=860155">:thumbup:</a></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr align="left" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody"></span> </td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/ninja250rc/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="15%" align="left" valign="top" class="row1"><span class="name"><a href="profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=14911" name="860147"><b>taygold</b></a></span></td> <td class="row1" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><span class="postdetails"><img src="templates/ninja250rc/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /> Posted: Mon Jun 23, 2014 1:25 am<br> <img src="templates/ninja250rc/images/spacer.gif" width="12" height="9"> Subject: <a href="viewtopic.php?p=860147">also still need to fab up the coolant res...have a plan though.</a></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr align="left" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody"></span> <br><img src="./uploads/860147.jpg" alt="IMG_6977.JPG"> </td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/ninja250rc/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="15%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a href="profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=14911" name="860146"><b>taygold</b></a></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><span class="postdetails"><img src="templates/ninja250rc/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /> Posted: Mon Jun 23, 2014 1:24 am<br> <img src="templates/ninja250rc/images/spacer.gif" width="12" height="9"> Subject: <a href="viewtopic.php?p=860146">She is almost finished!</a></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr align="left" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">I since this pic I put the K&N filter on and some grips.
