          Hi,

          I have faced the High coolant temperature warning again, once I had faced it when the bike was now at that time fan was replaced under warranty.

          Now the issue is still unknown but if it comes to replacing the fan again, I have been told that the warranty for fan assemble is only for one year and not for two years, Is this true.

          My bike is 1 year 5 months old as of now.

          It would be helpful if any one has gone through similar situation where fan assembly was not covered under warranty.

            Faced similar issues with my D390 but SVC changed it under warranty. Get it check at SVC through their diagnostic tool and if fan is not starting at specific temperature and exceeding the temperature limit then something is faulty.

              Was the bike more than one year old ?

              The thing is according to SVC if the bike is more than one year then fan wont be covered under warranty.

                Bike was 1 year 6 months old. Other things were also changed under warranty.

                            Quick update : bike is nearing 1k kms and due for first service ,slipper clutch is a boon at times ,have not tested it completely though .

                            Problems faced:
                            1.Battery cover seems to be loose ,should get it checked during service.
                            2.rear brake light gets on even for the slightest of touches.

                            Mods done:
                            Installed Bosch air horns . sadly there is no proper place to install it inside the fairing so had to install it right outside the fairing facing the ground ,any options to fit it inside please let me know .

                            Overall,am very happy choosing the bike , did 350km in a day ,would move to serious touring from next month .Hope she treats me well :-D :-D

                              I think my bike belonged to the lot in between the 2015 model and the no headlight switch model :-P My bike has 2016 VIN as well as slipper clutch but still has the headlight switch on it.
