This afternoon I decided to install a cooling fan on my 2007 TE 510.
Based on the experience of a friend of mine and his KTM 525, I chose a 100 cfm computer fan attached to the right radiator.
Items used:
1. 120x120x25mm computer fan. I chose one that claims 100cfm (I have doubts about this fan's actual specs)
2. small toggle switch
3. Zip ties
4. Power wire.
5. Fast-on terminal with a male and female connector to split the power going to the horn.
Direction:
1. Find a location for the fan to fit. I found the lower half of the right radiator worked well. The 25mm fan thickness is important for fitting the fan.
2. Find some power. On the 2007 TE 510 the horn always gets power so I decided to tap into that. That saves going all the way back to the battery. (I'll have to see if the horn has a fuse. If not I may install one.)
3. Mount the fan switch to the fan housing. I found the toggle switch I had was able to be mounted to the housing so I didn't have to worry about making a bracket.
4. Find a ground. I chose the rad support bolt.
5. I installed the fan to the radiator with zip ties.
6. Most important, I put a piece of gaff tape on the tank with the word, FAN? The fan will run whenever I turn the switch one, no matter if the engine is running or not. The 2007 doesn't have a key so the horn power is always hot. Be careful not to run down your battery.
