I got out yesterday and I believe I overheated the bike. ie... it blew some coolant out of the overflow tank. Don't think it was too bad though as I had only gone about 5 miles and was moving for most of it. Couple of questions here. First I just bought the bike a 98 Trophy 1200 with 33k and I thought bulbs were burned out in the dash for the warning lights so I replaced them with LED's (they work great BTW) It appears that the sending units are bad rather than the bulbs being bad (I ran the diagnostics via Haynes manual to determine this)
The fan switch seems to be bad. The fan does not come on, but if you ground the switch it will kick on and run.
The temp sending unit seems to be bad. Won't set off the light.
Oil sending unit seems to be bad. Won't set off the light.
Are these common units to go bad? Or is this a sign of deeper electrical problems?
Anyway I have ordered all above listed parts to the tune of about 100 bucks and will report on the success or lack there of on the repair attempt.
Next question is do yo think I could have damaged the head? Are these bike sensitive to this? The engine is so noisy that it's hard to tell if you have messed something up.
Thanks for your help.
