Bike overheating
Hi there,
I have a CBR 600 94 plate and having a problem with the bike overheating.
I looked through the threads to try and identify the problem
The fan does not come on at all and it does not spin more than about an 8th of a spin when I try to turn it by hand.
Can you tell me if the fan should spin freely when I try to turn it or does it only turn when there is power to it.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

Is there an easy way to remove the fan or do I have to remove the tank, air filter and radiator to get to it.

None of those items need to be removed, just fairings - if I remember correctly, you only have to remove the main side bits (which requires removing the tail sections), and the inner front cowl, that sits behind the front wheel...then, you can easily remove the radiator, and disconnect the fan.

Dig in, these bikes are incredibly easy to work on! I don't find anything about working on my bike either difficult or hateful.

There has to be a fuse. It should be (iirc) located just inside the upper right cowling mounted in a small plastic box that is held by a piece of the upper fairing stay.

Checked the fuse and it had blown. Had another look at the fan and on closer inspection I noticed that the fan shroud is bent around the bottom and the fan is catching it at this point. I can't get enough force on it to bend it back so I still have to take the radiator off.
