Yep, it was in the headlight assembly. I relocated it in front of the shock and everything is working properly. Thanks for the help!

Was it located in the headlight assembly? If so I definitely removed it. The manual showed it located not far from the rear shock so I thought I was ok. I'll check it out tonight, thanks!!!

Thanks for the reply. I checked the drips, definitely oil. Thinking the fan through... I did replace the big light assembly with the much smaller "cat eye" light that came with the bike, there was some wiring removed (though all the connections seemed pretty obvious). Maybe there is a non-obvious (to me anyway) connection that has to be made. Any ideas? I'm sure someone on here knows this one. I'd take it to the nearest dealer, but they are a 12 hour drive. I will send them an email as well.

Hi, I've got a new '09 4rt (Repsol). I had my first good 20 minute ride today. I noticed the fan never came on (I was mostly in first gear going through trees slowly, 20C outside). Is this normal? I kept watching it expecting it to come on. Also, I notice when it sits after riding that one of the (vent?) tubes drips a few drops of oil - is this normal? Thanks
