How to test the fan on my R1?

[wackyrider]

Yesterday I was out riding and realised that the fan was not going on.

I will put power directly to the fan to find out if the fan is the issue, but if not how can I find where the problem is? The temp sensor is working as I have a digital temp gauge in my gauges.

im guessing you have checked fuses and power through wires etc jules ,just follow the loom back from fan through connections and see if there all ok not very often a fan shits itself

Jules on your rad is the fan switch unplug and cross this plug, if the fan fires up all is bad with the switch if it does not all is bad with the fan or wiring to the fan etc.

Check you fuse and relay for your fan first.
I think this is the wiring diagrahm for it

Do you mean bridge the switch? Won't that short it out?

No thats all the switch does temp activates the switch.

Might be worth fitting a manual fan switch up too mate. Ive fitted one to all of my bikes over the years. gives ya a bit of piece of mind when in traffic and stuff.
