Hey guys,

1986 vt1100

My fan started blowing fuses when it kicked on. Luckily I have a matching parts bike and it had a good fan. I'd like to rebuild the original though; the rotor part is worn down and the slots on it are nonexistent. The brushes look pretty worn as well.

Does anyone know where I can get replacement parts for this specific motor? Thanks in advance!

Well guys, crisis averted.

I have my parts bike fan in and it works great.

This afternoon I wire brushed and sandpapered the rotor on the original as well as the brushes. I mucked out the slots on the rotor, soaked/rinsed everything with electrical contact cleaner, dried and reassembled. It's now pulling just over 4 amps off my truck battery. On startup it hit just over 6 amps briefly - should be good to go if I ever need it.
