My brackets that hold the fan to the radiator broke last weekend. Has anybody experienced this? Is there a better way to fix them so it doesn't happen again?

zip ties didnt cut it huh?
well i've got the manual now.i actually downloaded it from a website.[color=darkblue][/color]i love those smooth dunes

Should have bought a PREDATOR :shock: . Zip ties seemed to do the trick. Those Raptors all look alike, behind ME :bash:

That big trash talkin about Raptors sounds a little funny coming from a guy called YAMAHASPORT!!! I thought Polaris made the Predator. I guess it's a good thing the wife loaned you her bike. Otherwise you might have had to use some riding skill to keep up with us

Seriously, I'm looking for help here. Not a trash talking session. The zip ties were a temp. fix. I'll probably try to whip some new brackets up at work or maybe try to laser weld the stock ones.

The SPORT in YAMAHASPORT came from the wifes first bike, a Polaris Sport 400. Can you buy the brackets from Yamaha?

I'm sure the brackets can be bought from yamaha but they'll just break again. I'm going to fab my own out of tougher matl.

i guess it was just built up and the talk was just looking for that window of opportunity to unleash.ok yamasquirt

now for real-
if you change your mind and go yamaha brand i've got the manual which i believe has part the number for that.i like your idea of making it out of a better metal though.
