Cooling fan just will not come on. Noticed it yesterday while out riding. The check engine light now remains on after start up now. Are these two connected somehow? I rode the bike 100 miles back home and had no overheating issues, but I know that the engine was not being properly cooled. Have I damaged the bike? What could be causing the fan problems? Could it be as simple as a fuse, or is is more likely that the fan just died after four years of use? How long can the bike be ridden under such circumstances?

I'd say your best bet is to get the codes off the ECM so you can see exactly what your baby's trying to tell you.

Check your fuses too. When my fan bearing went, it shorted out, blew a fuse and the check engine light came on. It was summer and I had to ride home fanless. No issues. You should be ok.

My fan sucked up a candy wrapper once.
Burnt the fan motor out.
Around $60 IIRC.
But yeah, check your fuses, and your trouble codes.
It's probably something pretty simple.
These bikes really are simple to work on.
