Hi, I had the same problem but my bike was out of waranty. I priced a new fan, A$700. I am from OZ so parts seem to be dearer here. They said you had to replace whole fan unit not just the motor. I pulled the fan off and seperated the motor from the blades. I then took motor apart and found plate (these motors have plates instead of windings) had burns and solid stuff like slag on it. Cleaned and scraped it all off. Then one brush was seized in so forced it out, sanded it down abit, then resolderd it in. Put it all back together and it worked. I know I was lucky as it had not been jammed for a long time so the shorting out was minimal. This might help someone who like me does not have alot of ready cash to spend on over priced and poorly designed spares.
