Yesterday after riding 20+ miles on Pavement, I headed on up the road after it turned to gravel. After a couple of miles the Temp light came on. Was only going like 15 MPH.

Pulled over and stopped engine, turned key back on fan would not run

First thought now what's broke. Turned key off. Reached in to turn fan, pulled hard then moved easily. Turned key on and fan ran fine

Guessing it had a small rock stuck in it, kicked up by front wheel.

========================================
Not all that uncommon for that to happen, use a piece of hack saw ans cut a area out of the shroud at the bottom so they can fall out

Thanks for the idea, never thought to see how much stuff has collected at the bottom of the shroud.
