Anyone know where i can get hold of sparte rad fan
Think it is kaput
Did the haynes checks ; fuse ok, pulled off clip on side of fan and earthed this against frame, small spark, fan didn't start.
Would you say fan is dead?

Try turning the fan by hand. If it hasn't spun for a while they can stick which then blows the fuse.

Not yet, I'd pull the fan off then hook it to a 12v source (the battery). You'll need 2 wires. The two leads on the plug are kinda close together so I used speaker wires to hook it up. Just make sure the wires don't short.

I did the same test you did and had the same results. I thought the fan was dead so I pulled it off the radiator and tested it. It spun right up. So it could be a wiring/electrical problem which is more than what I want to deal with so I'm taking my bike (NC29) to a professional.

Not sure on the 29/30s but often radiators are rubber mounted to reduce vibration in that case the rad/fan needs to be earthed or the fan won't work. If the earth wire hasn't been reattached during maintenance or gas corroded, the fan won't work.

Fan turns freely
Hooked up fan directly to battery...nothing

did you hook it up to the correct negative wire?

if i recall it the positice in the black connector block that hooks on the bottom rad and the negative that connects to you fan switch (the thing screwed into your rad)
