FAN KIT FOR EC300 question
 
Hi all
Wanting to install fan on my gg. But it's not original kit. So i wondering what "voltage rectificator from AC to DC" is for, and can i install fan without it?

The fan is then most likely a DC fan. What model of bike do you have? Only the last models have DC system. If you have any older bike you must install the rectifier since it has an AC system..

the fan is the one that comes on the GG trials bikes.

I have one on mine, but since it does not have the battery i have the rectifier. I will find out what information is posted on the unit later today.

I have ec300 2011

swazi_matt 05-29-2017 08:23 AM

with or without e-start is the actual question i think.

sorry nothing marked on my rectifier, may have worn off

That rectifier should be an easy install. The black and red are your DC output to the fan. The yellow and white wires are for AC. You need to locate the yellow wire that comes out of your stator and connect into that circuit with the yellow wire on your rectifier. The white wire on the rectifier is then grounded to complete the circuit. The fan will run whenever the engine runs.

In the kit there is a thermoswitch you can add to the circuit. Put it in series with the white wire. This will let the thermoswitch ground the rectifier to create your DC for the fan. This is the way the kit is intended to be used so the fan engages only when the coolant reaches the temperature limit.

On the AC input it does not matter if you hook up the wires opposite (connect the white and ground the yellow).

I fitted a handlebar switch (the same as the map switch) and turn it on when the going gets tough or v slow

With the fan fitted (but not turned on) the bike will boil easier as the fan cowling will reduce natural airflow so once fitted remember to use it

Thanks all, but i don't understand - should i install rectifier with fan, or i can install it without rectifier?

Neil E. 05-29-2017 04:04 PM

You should use the rectifier.

Does your bike have a battery? Yes = no rectifier / no= use rectifier

Rampart 05-30-2017 04:31 AM

OK, thank you all

Neil E. 05-30-2017 11:21 AM

Another thing to consider: Even if you have a battery, using the separate rectifier will put the fan load on your AC windings. This will prevent the fan load from running down your battery.

Can someone tell - how many amperes have original gg fan?

clbuff 07-26-2019 04:48 PM

Hi, I have a 2011 EC300 E (electric start) and I'm planning to install a fan and I think is a good idea to have a DC source parallel to the original sistem so the fan will not drain the battery, that is possible?

Neil E. 07-29-2019 11:58 AM

Yes, just hook up the rectifier input to the AC wiring (yellow plus chassis ground). Connect the rectifier output only to your fan through a switch. If you use a thermoswitch make sure it has two connection terminals so that your circuit will be isolated from ground.

Add Fan Question
 
This is kind of a dumb question but I want to to mount a fan on my 84 RM 250. I am going to use a Spal Fan with a switch. This is the stator before restoration. My stator only has the two AC wires. Do I need a new stator with dedicated power source wires? Like in the video below,

You need a stator with a lighting coil.
Your current setup won't support the fan.

That is what I thought. Do you Trailtech would have one?

Or, lighting coil off Suzuki RMX.

Hey thanks! Duh, I never though of a swap over from an RMX. I checked the Suzuki Fiche on the 1989 RMX 250. The stator design looks different from my bike. I just sent an email to Ricky Stator. I am also going to try trailtech on Monday.:D

Thanks again!

motocrosscenter sent me this pic to help me with my fan on a 2013 gasgas 300.
Maybe it will help you understand.

NICE! Thanks for sending that! I am trying to find a stator with a lighting coil.

I have gg txt 260 with fan. Can I use rectifire from txt to my ec 300 2010 (no e-start)?

swazi_matt 08-25-2019 03:23 PM

should be able to, that is basically what i have on my 2010 with no e-start
