My radiator fan is not working and my bike is running hot. I checked the fuses and the power connection going to the fan and all seemed fine. Can anyone help?

how hot is it getting?

it's not supposed to come on until 205 or 210 degrees F.

It might be the temp sensor not the fan. To check if the fan is good try getting power from the battery direct to the fan. If it starts running it is good.

Mine comes on at 216

Mine too...actually might come on at a little higher temp than that.

mine's only come on once, after i did a few hot laps around my neighborhood when it was probably 89-92 degrees out with high humidity. It came on and was still running after I parked in the garage. It has never come on sense (that I have noticed, at least).

On my SV it comes on at around 215, now on my 02 Gixxer that bad boy gets to 246 before the fan kicks in!

I can count on 1 hand, the number of times my fan has kicked on in the 123k I have ridden so far. Unless you are stopped in a lot of stop n' go traffic, I wouldn't expect the fan to ever come on.
