if your fan isnt coming on it isnt the ECT or the thermostat, because the ECU would read it as hot and turn on the fan, even if it really wasnt hot. What exactly is the gauge doing?? is it going up and down really fast?

Just a word of advice, start at the basics. Check your coolant level. I had a problem with my needle going up and down, Had old *** coolant in rad, probably about 3 years old, changed it and needle stopped moving. If your problem keeps up you can go on to the next step. thermostat , sensor, ecu. etc, etc.......

maybe the gauge/sending unit for the gauge is bad? My friend is having some of the same issues with is CBR600 and has done everything other than replace the gauge and still has issues.
