the fan is 115.00... the sensor and housing is 117.00...

Ya know that's not too bad.
My fuel pump just went on my TE510...That little puppy is gonna be over $500

[jhendr3702]

that is what i thought...i may try to do some looking around and try to change it to the newer style like yours also.. in the last few months there have been complete units on ebay rad,fans,all....none today
i am in amarillo tx, the closest trails dealer is in dallas.. sent him an email yesterday with my cel as a contact... he called me about 430 yesterday and was very helpful...
the bike came from the dfw area... he knows it and the prev owner..
small trials bike world.. he told me a few other things to check also..

Huskydude,

I heard about some of these Husky issues. A Ducati pump/flange assy(as its sold) is over $900 , but the pump alone can be found as a generic off the shelf part for $150! Before I drop over $500 on a pump that will likely fail again(they just should not fail) I'd look at alternatives even if it means an external pump and regulator. Is that price for the flange assy? My Cannondale used the same pump as a Ford Ranger I could get anywhere for less than $100 and it never failed anyway.


jhender3702,

Same setup as my wife's '02 250 Pampera. Fan went bad from being jammed after a fall, and also took out the rectifier, so check that too.

[jhendr3702]

that is what the guy at the trails store said.. check the rectifier also, but could not tell me how to check it...
any thoughts gmp ?

Well, ours was obvious as it had a big melted plastic blister on the side. I don't have the drawing/color codes handy, but if you do just use a DMM with a diode test mode from input to output. If I remember its just a simple half wave rectifier. If I have time I'll look at the Pampera tommorrow.

no rush at all... it is all apart and have not even ordered the fan and sensor yet....
thank you

[jhendr3702]

ordered parts today.... supposed to get them in a week or so...
cant wait to get my trial's back...

[jhendr3702]

got the stuff in last night... got the same kind of thermostat.. i dont see what the retainer holds on to, to hold it in... it is pretty snug, but i think i am gonna safety wire it in or zip tie one of the two..
also the fan is a new design... gonna have to put the connector off my old one on it and re drill mounting screws...

hopefully tonight i will get it back together..
