I checked the fuses & replaced 2 of them. It has a new ignition switch. I have no clue as to why the fan's not working and it's not charging. If you can help I'd appreciate it! Thanks.
I have a 2002 Shadow VT1100C. I recently had to replace the radiator mounted thermostat switch because it did not come on.
Unfortunately I ran the bike until it overheated before I discovered this. The overheating caused my stator to short out to ground (frame). No stator=no charge voltage=dead batttery quick. So I had to take apart the crankshaft, and replace the stator along with the radiator mounted thermostat switch. You will need a shop manual. You need to know how to measure voltage and resistance with a meter. If you need a stator, buy an aftermarket stator because the OEM versions cost 3 times as much.

hello
just a couple quick questions. is the battery in good health? if so, if you were to check the voltage at the battery terminals while the bike is running, what is the voltage regulating to at above idle rpm?
and last there is a wire at the bottom of the radiator, it goes into a sensor that goes into the radiator. if you were to unplug that wire and ground it while the ignition switch is turned on, does the fan start to work then? thank you.
