Just a quickie. Started up the Skorpion yesterday after recharging the flat battery I was letting it tick over for a while, and after about 10 mins or so, I heard like a whistle sound and then the fan kicked in? I switched the bike off and after about 30secs the fan stopped. After another 10secs or so, with the bike off the fan started again and ran for a further 30secs or so?
Surely, if the bike was only ticking over for around 10mins, the fan shouldn`t have come on? Seemed to get hot quick? I checked the water level this morning, when cold, and it was to the brim (probably too much water?) Any ideas folks, does it sound right to you Skorp owners out there?
Don`t know what the whistling noise was??
Cheers.

check for air leaks in the carb plumbing or fan bearings complaining about not being ran for a long time
