SOURCE: cbr 600 fan stopped working

ast the halfway mark isnt overheating. Any bike will rapidly increase in temp when stopped or moving slow. the fan will not kick on until the bike reaches around 220 deg. Im not sure how that relates to your gauge as Im assuming you have just a C and H with a few lines between., but Im sure its near the upper range of the gauge. I would think your bike isnt hot enough for the fan to kick on. I would let the bike get a little hotter and see. If the fan hasnt kicked on when the needle reaches the upper portion of the gauge, take it for a quick spin to cool it off, dont just shut it off as that will actually create hot spots within the motor, and then consider either the fan is faulty, or the relay. You can pull the fan and test it with a 12 volt battery. One hot, one ground. If it works, it must be the relay. I doubt the stall has anything to do with the bike running warmer, unless it is truely overheating and you have antifreeze pouring out of it, then it might be. You might just be in need of a good carb cleaning.

SOURCE: radiator fan does not come on, overheating lamp blinks

Disconnect the two fan plugs leads from the fan sensor switch in the thermostat housing bridge the two plugs with a wire if the fan starts then you will need to replace the fan sensor switch if not the fan will need replacing ,as for the temp light flashing with the indicator light maybe because they share the same fuse and they could share a common earth as well?

SOURCE: new battary wont stay charged

Poor wiring. CHeck the connections leading to the temperature gauge. If the battery won't stay charged it maybe a symptom of short circuit. Check the wirings, there maybe worn electricals making contact with the chassis. Worse case is the charging circuit is not working. (alternator, regulator)

SOURCE: high idle when the bikes hot.

You either need to clean and adjust the carbs on it, or you have a vacuum leak somewhere.
