Have I fried my fan motors - or are they repairable?
Doing a light , low budget resto on a surprisingly rusty ST13... I was very pleased with myself with repairing a fan motor that wasnt spinning freely (had a chipped piece of magnet floating around inside - easy fix). Tested it without fan attached on 12v from a battery and all seemed fine. Thought would test the other motor, also which span up fine.
Was feeling good about a nice fix, then for some reason thought a 2nd test with opposite polarity was required = 2 x dead motors (1 shows 1.7 ohms resistance, the other 2.1 and of course no movement when current applied).
Its now obvious I am no electrical genius, but this was particularly dumb, even by my standards... but my question to you - are the motors fried, or is there something I can repair.
Seems to be a fairly generic Honda part , Blackbird, VTR and CBR6 seem to use the same, so a trip to the bike breaker is entirely possible but I prefer to fix it
