Re: 690 Enduro Thermostat Fan Switch Upgrade

@randy0017 Wondering if you are still using the temp switch from
Advance Auto. Also, is the connector a match to the 690 harness?

yes and yes. Great fit. Connects perfectly. Same connection
as stock. Works great.

Having read this article, it makes me think KTM is using the
higher temp switch to help maintain a 230ish temperature to
improve combustion and reduce exhaust emission.
I like the idea of keeping engines cool, but is there a tangible
gain for using a lower temp switch for the fan other than
driving the temp gauge? It sounds like the fan would be running
longer too.
Makes me wonder.

You are correct on the reason for the stock temp.
If you ride in south Texas in the summer, you have no problem
getting temperature in the engine.
