My Bali 250 is still running, but now is in need of work. It needs $180 in new parts. I noticed the fan no longer worked after yesterday. Need a new belt, roller weights, and clutch. It is just as simple to order a new clutch assembly as to order parts. All the parts don't come to that much. First major issues with the scooter, in about 7 years. Horn button fell off a few weeks ago, the speedo cover is now falling apart. Still starts and runs. Never over heated the engine when fan stopped working due to it stopped at home.

Your thermoswitch is the one that screws into the radiator. Here's how you test it.
If the thermoswitch has continuity when the bike is hot, reattach the wires but leave a bare spot you can get to on the connectors. Sometimes the thermoswitch closes a ground to the entire circuit, sometimes it closes the supply to the fan, but if you have a good source from the ignition, when the bike is hot and the thermoswitch closed, ONE of the wires will be carrying 12v DC. If not there's a loose connection or short somewhere leading up to the thermoswitch.
If the fan has a connector unhook it and apply 12v DC to it, if it spins it's good, if it doesn't it's bad. If there's no connector use test leads to hook to the fan terminals and apply the same test. Rich

Yes, it was not the fan... LOL.. Needs a new heat sensor. About a $10 item. Paint the crank cover and the exhaust the other day, with heat temperature paint. It just makes it look nicer. The paint was made to paint engines and good up to 500 degrees. I don't think the exhaust gets that hot, but if so, I will buy the type of paint they spray grills with.

That paint will work. I coated a GY6 150 with it and it was tough as could be. It finally discolored a little on the real hot spots but never peeled off.

I also did the muffler and header pipe and the paint is still on there to this day.

The paint job you done, turned out nice. I thought of tearing down the scoot to get the frame tôo, but it is a lot of work and the body covers it up. The paint I used is durable and still not expensive. Found it in the automotive section of Walmart.

Yes, I would have did the same. But I run this bike naked so I had to paint it. I bought mine at Advance Auto. My mailbox needed repair a few years ago and the only paint I had sitting around was the heat paint. So I used it on the box. It went on easier than regular paint, it has held up better than regular paint, and the cost was about the same. I use it for everything now. Rich
