compression test would be a good start

bulb blown

At 85 Celsius the thermostat opens, at 95-98 the fan turns on and the max temp you should see on your gauge is 104-105 C

REPLACE FAULTY PART IF NOT IT CHECK REALYS WIRES ETC

hi this might help,normally if the alternator/generater fails you will get no charge voltage at all,if your bike is fitted with an alternator(most later honda models are)then you will have a rectifier and regulator,the rectifier converts the ac voltage from the alternator to dc voltage which is then fed through the regulator and then onto the battery,if the bike is fitted with a generator then you will still have a regulator but no rectifier,a generator develops dc voltage at its source so a rectifier is not needed,a simple way to test the system is with a simple digital volt meter,these are very cheap and reliable and can be got for around 20 bucks,with the engine running at about 1500 -2000rpm test the voltage across the battery with the meter normall voltage at charge should be between 13.8 and 14.8 volts,if you are getting more that this then the regulator is faulty,another way to test the regulator is to slowly lift the engine rpm from idle through to about 3 or 4000rpm the voltage across the battery should not rise any higher than about 14.2-14.8 and it should reach its peak at about 2-2500rpm and not fluctuate more than about 1 volt across the rev range,if the voltage exceeds about 14.8 or fluctuates excessively with engine revs then the regulator needs to be replaced.hope this helps...cheers ian

The fan motor can be going bad. BUT, check the wiring to the fan along the frame for rubs or brake in the insulation and check the plug for a burnt connection. Any loose connection can cause enough heat to blow the fuse. Check all this. Hope this helps Fix Ya up.

I don't think you have a short. It sounds like the earth cable is broken somewhere and is arcing when you start drawing a bit of current.

It could have just been a small piece of carbon flaked off inside the cylinder and was in between a narrow space between the piston and head or between the exhaust valve and seat but broke loose and blew out the exhaust

sounds like your fuel pump is going out, or you have a blockage in the tank vent

you have a short . check the wires at the unit, may be grounding, or touching housing, look for loose connections. bikes vibrate alot and sometimes things move around and get loose. i add electrical tape to some of those spots, which factory doesnt
