Water temperature unit
I have one for ya....Where is the water unit located...I see it in my wiring diagram. ..The radiator fan switch and the water temp sensor are wired to it. The 92-04 vs800 intruder use it. My radiator fan switch is bad....Is it ok to wire a switch where the fan switch would be to bring on the radiator fan? THANKS FOR ANY HELP

Why not just replace the fan switch? Looking it up it is almost $100, before tax and shipping.
You could also put a toggle switch where it could be reached and turn it on manualy.
I can't seem to win the lottery. I think I have used up all of my good luck riding motorcycles.

Re: Water temperature unit
Thanks for your input, Herb. I just don't have the cash now. So just put the switch between the fan switch two leads after I disconnect them. Black/R & Black/W on the harness side..One more, do you know where the water temperature unit is on a 96 vs800 intruder? I see it in my wiring diagram. The water temperature sensor and the radiator fan switch are routed there.Thank you for your time knowledge...

Re: Water unit
If memory serves me, it should be in the head light bucket.
Living in Thailand it's bloody hot most of the time, I have my fan hooked up to come on with the ignition. If you are going to hook up to a toggle switch, a water temp gauge would be a smart install.

Re: Water temperature unit
The water temperature unit is in the speedometer housing.
