Right you are, Don. In my dilemna and advancing age I got sidetracked by the blocked fuel return line and actually forgot about the stethoscope until Ted piped in about it later on. I am getting a bit more senile at age 61 than I would have expected (absent-minded more than ever lately; I think my 88 year-old dad is sharper than I am!
Oh, well, at least I have an almost completely new fuel system going and the bike is running great otherwise (and I didn't damage anything important by operating the bike while screeching; it was only a fan motor bearing).
I just noticed that Beemerboneyard sells just the fan motor (Bosch!) for $79 so I immediately ordered one minutes ago. Now I'll look into what I need to remove in order to install it asap...
Thanks again for your help and I'm sorry I spaced out acting on your excellent advice.
