if the fuse is good, and the fan isnt coming on to cool the bike it could be the water temp sensor on the radiator (not the engine one, thats for the guage)... well this is what you do, unplug the connector from said sensor and turn the bike to run (dont start it), then short out the two pins in the connector... boom, the fan should come on. if it does, bad sensor. if not, bad fan or no power/ground which require more troubleshooting. let us know and we will give you more assistance.

no prob. if you dont want to replace the sensor, you could always just run a switch.
