1.
Refer to the "Replace the Drive Belt/Fan Assembly" section of the
shrouds and accessing the fan assembly. Follow the entire procedure to remove the belts as well, as they will need to
be reset after putting the fan assembly back in place.
2.
Once the fan assembly is removed from your bike, check that the fan is properly aligned inside the fan cover. No part
of the fan should be making contact with the cover [13790.A].
3.
Inspect the fan assembly for debris inside the cover. If debris is found, remove it through the belt opening if possible.
If you cannot access the debris from the opening, use a Phillips head screwdriver to remove the screws along the
seam of the fan cover to open up the fan cover. Reinstall the screws once the debris is removed (reference
1) [13790.B].
