Yeah so it was about 95 the other day and i was riding for a good two hours when i noticed the temp was about 3/4 the way up to red line. So i went to a gas station and parked and heard the cap like building up pressure. The fans never came on, actually since i've owned the bike last sept. I have never heard them come on but never really needed it to. So my question is how do i fix the fan? replace entire system or switches?

Also if anyone knows how to even test to see if the fan has power or what.

Thanks

 

check the fuse block ( the one with 4 fuses on the right side of the bike near the radiator) and see if any fuses are blown, then report back

 

nah man lol that was the fist thing i did. i also put a light tester to it and it gets power. Im thinking about pulling the switch to the fan and testing if that gets power

 

btw tested the switch so the fan is getting power.. Is the fan shot? or anyother way to test?

 

Have you checked so there is enough cooling fluid in the system?

 

yes i have, but i did notice one thing.. after the over heating the res. tank was way above the fill line when the last time i checked it was at the fill line.. i dont understand how it got pushed back into the tank

 

Checking the fan is easy. Pull the wire from the sending unit on lefthand side of radiator and connect a jumper to that wire and ground the other end to the frame. Fan should come on if fan is good and has power.

 

yes my friend do what cbr900 says, my bike have a switch and with this i can cool the radiator.

if the fan doesn't start, you'll need get a new one.

my fan doesnt turn on until the bike is already pretty much overheated lol. Its well past the 3/4 mark I believe

 

Make sure your fan spins freely, although I guess if it didn't your fuse would definitely be blown.
