I'm also on a Triumph forum where a few people have claimed that the
installation of an electric cooling fan (and elimination of belt drive
fan) has increased their Power by about 7%.



They claim that the drag created by the fan on the waterpump pulley
creates a power loss that is more than the power loss due to the burden
on the Alternator/generator created by the electric fan.



Anybody have any thoughts?
