a few possible reasons.
1: the fan doesn't work. take two small jumper wires and connect the directly to the battery and the leads on the fan. if it works, then...
2: your temp sensor has failed. remove the sensor and, while keeping it connected to the leads and with the key in the "on" position, try either putting a flame to it or immersing the tip in boiling water. if the fan comes on, then...
3: using a multimeter, disconnect the leads from the sensor and from the fan and test the wire for current. you could also just bypass the wire by jumping the sensor directly to the fan while leaving the wire connected and then following step 2 again. if it doesn't work, then...
4: with the key in the "off" positon and using your multimeter, attach the negative lead to the negative terminal on your battery and then touch the positive lead to a grounded spot on the frame. there should be absolutely no current. if there is a current (which will be small or will read as a negative (-) current), then...
5: check the entire electrical system for worn/damaged wires where the positive connection from the battery or any accessories has come into contact with the frame or any other grounds. this won't always stop a vehicle from running but it will cause strange and/or damaging electrical failures to occur. this is rare, however... at least by comparison to the problems mentioned in the other steps.
if none of this helps then i would have to say that you may just be riding either too short for the bike to get hot enough or you're riding in too cool of weather for the bike to get hot enough. i have a cbr 600 f2 and the fan almost NEVER comes on... even in 80 degree weather! it usually only comes on if I'm at a red light for too long in the heat and after riding at least 15 to 20 minutes. naked bikes ESPECIALLY are able to stay cool under normal riding conditions.
Hi talor how come you dont have a fan phone number
may be a bad thermostat
Check the cooling fan relay and the control sensor. Check the fuse as well and if these are all good, check the fan motor.
Check the integrity of the wiring. Determine if the fan motor is burned out. More likely, the sensor has malfunctioned. Unplug the sensor (engine off) - the fan should come on when the ignition is turned on. If it does, the sensor is bad.
if it doesnt come on it may be the air charged temp sending sensor.... if it doesnt come on it may be the air charged temp sending sensor....
All except the VROD models.
2010 VRod family.
she doesnt have a fan club, she would have to get fans first.
Check the fuses, check the relay and then check the fan motor.
your driver side fan should come on at about 220 degrees which is about 3/4 way up the temp gauge and the passenger side comes on only when the ac compressor is turned on, if ur ac doesnt work then neither does ur passenger fan, if ur temp isin red and ur driver side fan doesnt come on then check your relays if ur relays are good then change ur coolant temp sensor and if that doesnt work then ur fan motor is most likely burnt out
It could be the fan switch mounted on the n/s of the radiator. Easy job, but if you've overheated the engine there may be further problems. Phil
probably the fan relay
