Did he say why it needed repalcing, is it a problem with high or low temperatures or a potential general failure?

Don,t know, they would inform on monday witch parts had to be replaced and why.
I cannot ride for a few weeks because my knee got busted, so i told them not to hurry.

What is the latest on this issue? Have you had your 450 in for the switch change?

The switch is a recall but it will be replaced as the bike is in service.
The swicht (oldermodel) can mallfunction, so that a: the fan keeps blowiong draining the battery. B: the fan doesnt work meaning the engine will not be cooled.
But because it is of non seriuos danger they do it in a service and you dont have to come back fot it immedialtly.
Because i crashed(somebody else crqsged into to mee :-( and damemegd my right knee (acl mcl bone splinters etc) i havent ride for 2 months and there for i havent been in for service(the bike only has 16 hours on it). Probly i will not be able to ride my bike for 2 more months.

My 450 has been in to Southport Superbike today. A new set of white plastics fitted (bar one side panel to follow) and the fan thermoswitch. Job took about 2 hours.

Timpo,
So good to see a gleaming new set of plastics on the bike for nothing !! I know for sure this wouldnt have happend with my Yamahas.
Good to see that even if your doing the srvice work yourself the dealers are still happy to help with warranty claims.
