That would do the trick. Do the SR KDX's have a temp gauge or just a warning light?

K.. KDX'r... order 203 of em!

Ummmm, sure !!! Would you like 203 Aussie version left radiators aswell ??? 
What do your radiators look like ?? Do they have anything to the right of the radiator hose to mount the sender to ??

I got a drain plug in that location... I think it would work....

I dooooooooon't think that is a drain hole. 
Well it could be, but I would think it is more likely to be the hole for "the sender". How big is it ?? Anyone got any pics that would show it ?? Hmmmm interesting.....

On USA bikes there is a black plastic plug there. I have tried to upload photos to my gallery but the window showing the upload in progress never goes away, just keeps flashing arrows like it's doing something.
Anyway, I'm quite sure it unscrews and the sensor would just thread into it that. If it is just a thermo switch and closes a ontact to ground on that lead, then that would work as a fan switch.

I think we need to give it a go!

YOur plug is sliver Inda. Did you paint it? Is it plastic? does it thread into the radiator?

Ski if you're going to try it out instead of getting a 12v regulator for your lights, get a 12v recifier and stick a small camcorder battery or something similar somewhere and run the fan (and lights if you want) off of it. Throw in a switch and you'd be set. If you wanted to run the lights off of the battery with no switch you'd need a relay so you didn't drain the battery when the engine was off.

Did CC say it has to be AC?
Posted: 12:53 am Jul 02 2005
If your using a computer case fan it has to be DC.

That's what I'm researching... got both...just need to know which it is so I can check the specs on the right type.

Only problem with those is that you would have to step up the voltage as they are 110v fans.

Indeed, but its a DC fan?
Posted: 01:25 am Jul 02 2005
The "wire for the lights" voltage is AC. Computer fans are DC. You can run the computer fans at lower voltage to slow them down, but I am not sure how one does that in AC world. If there is no plug in the wall, I don't know about AC.
