I have a 2004 Honda Shadow Sabre not charging&fan not working...

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.

    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.

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.

2004 honda sabre cooling fan is not coming on,causing the temp.light to come on..checked fuses..now what?

The most common problem Honda has with its fans, is a bad fan switch on the radiator (two wires)(the single wire is just the temp sender). Be sure to hot wire the fan just to make sure it is not a bad motor on the fan but 95% of the time it is a bad switch.

2004 Honda VT 1100 C2 Shadow Sabre that has gone through 3 batteries in the past year, 2 headlamp bulbs, and now shorting the ignition fuse.

Check the out put of your regulator/rectifier, though rare with honda r/r's since they are made very well and rarely break down ( at least the older model ones ) it could be what is causing this unless you have a short circuit in your wiring harness.
