So just got my RC390 this morning. I'm a new rider and have only putzed around with a buddies R6 for a few minutes. So when I say I was jacked to get this, I mean I could have wet myself with excitement.
Onto to my problem. I drove it around the neighborhood after trailering in it home (100 mile journey to the nearest street KTM dealer here in MI) and everything seemed fine. At 6 miles rode my over temp warning showed up and when I stopped at the corner it shut down. Pushed over and sat to let it cool. (No fan....) thought it was odd and tried to make it home after it cooled (4 bars under the "hot line", about 20 minutes) again at 10 miles (no fan this whole time) it over heated and I had to let it cool again. Checked the fuses when I finally made it back home and everything was good on those.
I'm to the conclusion that I got a lemon and the fan doesn't work at all. I've seen a few posts about fans going bad, but I literally picked it up today! Has anyone else had fan problems on here? Saw one post where it seized up, but I know little to nothing about bikes and can't get anyone to service it till Monday. Killed my whole weekend of riding (or so I thought it was going to be a weekend of riding)
Anything else I can check to see what may be wrong?
