If it came on its working. It only runs when your engine isn't being cooled sufficiently by air flowing over it during riding. If you sit around in stop and go traffic it'll start to run again.

 

check fuse. check coolant level. report back

 

warm bike up until fan comes on, if fan never comes on, listen to ******.

if fan comes on, it's fine. it should only run about around 215deg and when the bike is stationary

He speaks the troof. If you spend most of your riding actually moving at a decent pace, then your fan may not turn on at all. At the hottest and most humid here in VA (around 100F), my bike sits around 200F while cruising down the interstate (if there's no stopping involved).

You can test to make sure the switch that turns the fan on works by unplugging it and shorting the two terminals together on the plug. Your fan should kick on whether or not your key is in "on". That's true with my bike anyways. Remember that the switch that turns the fan on is connected to the radiator and is just an "on/off" switch, but the element in your engine block gives you the actual read out on your gage cluster. Just FYI because I've seen many people mistake the switch on their radiator for the one that gives you the temp read out.
