UPDATE UPDATE:

**** ME. Apparently my R/R was faulty as well as the relay to turn the fan on. Did a bit of testing, switching out the relays into the other plugs and found the one relay weak. Have ordered a new one. Bike is still overheating even now with the new battery and R/R.

Does anyone know a simple way I could see if the fan actually works? I've read people hookup their battery to it to see if its working. What exactly would I need to do?
Sorry if it sounds noobish. History majors don't really make good mechanics.

Any input is appreciated
