    Yeah, expect you are right. Yes, it would have to key off the tach OR the same sensor the tach keys off of ... The tach on the 700's is electronic, not mechanical. I do think it would be much more healthy for the bike if the fan came on earlier than it does ... Letting it heat up to close to red before turning on just doesn't seem like a great idea.

    You can boil your thermo-switch with a multi-meter attached. Use a candy/meat thermometer, I guess the switch should trip around 200* (?)
    (fix it right)

    Years ago I came up with an idea for an "automatic" fan switch (for a car)
    Power comes from the brake light wire, to a switch that's connected to a "flapper" that turns "off" at 30 MPH, then on to the fan relay.

    The fan would be on while waiting at red lights and slow driving while touching the brake.
