Gixer fan blowing fuses?

[17-in-87]

I've got a K1 GSX-R600, overheated last week as I got to work - checked the fuses and the fan fuse had blown. Replaced the fuse, again today the bike has overheated on the way to work, the fuse to the fan has blown again. Without stripping the bike down in the carpark at work, are there any obvious things I should be checking?

Check it the fan turning ok as there maybe dirt stopping it and causeing
the fuse to blow.

Often, there is no demand for the fan at all for years on end, then one day it's asked to come on and it's seized solid, which blows the fuse.

If you're lucky, there will just be something jammed in the actual fan, but be prepared fr the motor itself to be stuck. If so, you may be able to dismantle the motor, clean it up and put it back together.

I melted the fan blades on my 'busa turbo and blew the fuse because they fouled the fan shroud. Are you sure it can spin a full circle? Other than that try unplugging the fan from the connector and then jumping the wires in the fan switch (screwed into the radiator). This will tell you if you have a faulty fan or a short in the loom somewhere.

It's possible (although modern wiring and connectors are usually very well waterproofed) that the water has rusted the pins in the connector increasing the resistance in the circuit, hence drawing more current and blowing the fuse.
