what about if you unplug the wire from the sensor on the rear of the head? does the fan come on then?

no but if you want you can run it too a toggle switch... but first i would check your radiator fluid.. in them bikes the temp sensor that makes the fan come on is at the top of the radiator in the middle you'll see it when you take the cover off to get to the radiator... or like i said run a toggle switch and run it as needed

I had problems with my 2007 sp x2 800 overheating. The fan was not coming on, I checked the fuses in the fuse box and they were all good. Took it to the dealer and they replaced, what they called a circuit breaker. He said it was somewhere under the headlight pod and wrapped in black shrink rubber, this fixed my problem. I have the part number somewhere, let me know if you want it. Maybee if you used the polaris site to look up the part it would show where it is located.

Surely the fan doesn't run all the time?? It should be on a thermostat, and only run when the engine temp. calls for it. Unless it's direct wired, it shouldn't run all the time.
