Alright, so I'm assuming that both side middle cowls have to be removed and then I will find the bottom bolts for the radiator. Do I have to disconnect the hoses to allow for this movement of the radiator? I'd obviously rather not have to drain the fluids and I'd like to make this as clean as possible.

 

No just the left side fairing. The fan side. There is 1 lower bolt/bolt bracket. It holds the overflow tank and radiator to the block.

You wont actually be taking the fan assembly completely apart but #25 is the bolts you will be taking off to remove it from the radiator.

 

UPDATE: So I tried to ground the motor again and I figured out that it was grounded and it is getting power.

So that means that the motor is ruled out as the problem.

Any ideas as to what I can do now?

 

Ok so when running the bike and the fan hooked up as it should be does the fan come on at around 212? If your supply power to the fan and it works then its not the fan but could be the switch like VM said. Clarification would be a start on that one. There are only a few more components to the system.

 

Ok. So with the bike running the fan doesn't kick on. If I test it to see if its grounded to a good spot and completing a circuit, the light in the Circuit Continuity Tester turned on.

How can I test the switch? Same method right?(ie using the Circuit Continuity Tester around it) Also where is the switch located?

 

so you stated that your initial temps were wrong. you said that on the last ride it only went up to 205F. does it go over that? 205F is normal sitting at a light for 10 minutes like you said.

 

Yes. It did get to like 225F-230F in some beach traffic while sitting in the sun. Once I got moving again and got the air flowing it dropped down to a more normal level.

 

So if your fan is not working when not jumped by a jumper wire then at best you have a bad fan switch. Dont assume the worst though. If you want to go a easier cheaper route you can wire a toggle switch to the fan and manually run it. Do you have the repair manual? if not got to the 954 section and download the manual. There is about 20 pages dedicated to the cooling system...

 

So I finally got around to looking at it again a little more. It ended up being a loose connection on the plugs. Thanks for all the help.

 

so I know this is an old post but I'm just curious as to which plugs were loose ? I am haveing the same problem
