Not that I'm aware of.
The fan isn't supposed to come on until it's real hot, that's what the fan is for.
It comes on around 102C.

I'm aware of that, but comimg on at redline seems to me to be pushing it. And I can"t find the operating temp range.

Redline?
By operating temp range do you mean normal running temp?
Like all water-cooled engines it should be around the 85-95C under normal conditions.
When stopped in traffic in summer the temp will often rise high enough for the fan to come on until you get moving again.

A friend of mine wired in a switch to his fan so he could turn it on whenever he wanted. You may want to look into that as a stress reliever.

:hmm: mine did the same a few years ago..... originaly it came on at aprox 3/4mark on the temp gauge..... then wouldn't come on till it hit the red section* I replaced it and all then ok

*the heat coming from my engine was likely to melt my legs

Ive attached a switch on my blade that i can turn the fan on/off when i desire...it still kicks in at 102 degrees...but runs cooler when im in traffic....have had it for about 2 years or so with no troubles....
