Radiator Fan Motor

[AlexV]

Dear All,

The previous owner of my S10 dropped the bike on it's left side which pushed the radiator fan against the radiator. The fan jamned and the radiator motor burnt out. Rather than buy the entire assembly (bracket, fan, motor) from Yamaha I thought I might try and source just the radiator fan motor.

I understand it is a Denso motor, part number 065000-4241. I've tried searching on the web with no luck and called the Australian distributor for Denso who said there was no hope! Can any of you guys assist???

the whole blower assembly is only $226--BMW would charge that to look it up. http://www.yamahapartshouse.com/#/s/YAM//23p-12405-00_/1

Unfortunately it is not $226 in Australia. Yamaha Australia want AUD$500! (even though AUD is worth 1.05 USD!) add to this the fact that there are none in Australia (2-3 week wait from Japan) and it is a major headache. I have found that Yamaha seem to have global pricing, ie. price disparity is purely based on currency conversion from JPY and local taxes. Therefore, most Yamaha parts are the same price if not cheaper than in the US. Not for this part though.

I would suggest trying and ordering it from BikeBandit.com and have it shipped to you.....however BikeBandit still does not have the ST listed.

I just sent them a another email (for the 3rd time in the past 6 months) to add the ST. When I am in CA it sucks trying to get OEM parts as my 'local' dealer is 100 miles away and does not carry and ST specific parts in stock...near as i can tell.

It might help to have others send BikeBandit ( service@bikebandit.com ) a email asking them to add the ST if you are so inclined. They added my Tiger real fast. Don't know whats up with the ST.

This may be worth trying. Take the motor(if you can separate it from the fan) to a motor re-builder. Not one that only works on large motors, someone that does small motors as well.
If they can't fix the motor, you may get lucky and they may suggest a replacement that is more common.

Cheers

Gee, sounds like you should make friends with some American source; obtain your part here and have it shipped to Australia...Thank god for paypal and the Tenere forum.

I would be tempted to go to the local wrecker with the fan motor from the Super Ten and see what other auto or bike fan motors look similar, purchase one and fabricate as needed to mount it and wire it up. A 12 volt fan isn't that different from a 12 volt fan, after all.

Some of your imports... our imports, are using the low profile "pancake" electric motors. It might be worth while looking at some of the newer wrecked cars, Honda, Mazda, etc. New, they're quite expensive.

 

[johnnail]

take it to an Audi dealer...I heard down an alley that it uses the same motor.

Try an electronics wholesaler. Maybe they can match it up with something. They deal with a lot of axial fans.

 

[Don in Lodi]

There we go, the proper name for a 'pancake' motor...

 

[Tremor38]

Not 'axially' O0 Axial just means the airflow runs straight through rather than being thrown outward (centrifugal). 'Pancake' is a better description cuz it indicates a low profile IMO.

Ah....
