I ride in full gear with earplugs. I can not tell if the fan is on without looking.

How noticeable is the fan...I rode yesterday...and was sitting at a red light...the spyder got up to 5 bars and i didnt notice the fan coming on....i know on my 4 wheeler its very loud when it comes on...and was on my ninja too....how bout spidey?

If you're stopped and you wanna know if the fan's on just put your hand down by the opening in the right-side panel. If it's on you'll feel the hot breeze!

Regards,

I just put the hindle on my Spyder and it's running 2 full bars cooler. I was up to seven bars in traffic here in Florida. Now its running 4-5 bars. I'm a very happy camper.

Same here. I can't hear it but I put my hand down there and I can feel the warm air blowing. You should be able to feel a difference between warm air radiating from the motor and the fan blowing air away from the radiator.

I wasn't really planning on getting an exhaust system so soon, but it looks like a good way to keep the engine a bit cooler. So far, my precise evaluation of exhaust sounds on YouTube has the Hindle sounding the best, to me anyway.

Really need the Corbin seat first so the Hindle will have to wait
