Appears my wife's fan is kaput on her 2007 F650GS.
I disconected the fan from the wiring harness and hooked the fan directly to a battery. Did not activate and the wiring started to get warm; I believe that means the fan motor is faulty. She's had the bike for 5 years and cannot recall ever hearing the fan run. The bike overheated for the first time during a recent riding course. The temperature was over 100 degrees and she had to idle a great deal, so the bike was pushed to it's limits.
Anyone replace one of these? Can it be done without removing the radiator?
