Hi I just got my first street bike which is a 1984 honda 750 interceptor off my moms boyfriend yesterday and was informed that the cooling fan does not turn on and I was wondering if anyone could help me by explaining what things to look at or for to start fixing this problem and or things I can do to pick point to specific problem. thank you for your time.

Not sure if it's the same for your bike or not but on my 86 VFR700 on the left side of the radiator there is a thermostat that if you ground the lug on it the fan will turn on. FWIW, my fan has only kicked on once and that was during the time the waterpump was broken, it just doesn't come on, nor overheat.

I have a 1984 Interceptor 700. I have the cooling fans wired to a switch on the "dashboard" and I just turn them on manually. If the ambient temp is under about 85 degrees, I don't need to use them at all. If it is over that, I just flip the manual fan switch and it keeps the bike relatively cool. Not sure you want to do a manual switch like that, but you can do it for a couple of dollars, providing that the issue isn't with the fan or fan motor itself.

For what it is worth, I'm having this exact issue with my 2002 Interceptor. Try pulling the fan motor and hooking it directly to the battery to confirm that the fan spins. Also, I am betting their is a fuse for the fan motor that should probably be the first thing you check.

thanks found the wire looks like the connection to the bottom of the rad was cut or destroyed, i am going to wire it manually, seems to be the best way. thanks for all the help.
