i have not done one on a 600rr myself but the two wires going to the fan are power wires , you need to bypass the temperature sending unit with a switch
maybe you should let some one else do it for you

i don't know if this is right or not but it was a sticky on a cbr forum ......
DONT use some speaker wire or narrow *** wire, use at least 18g wire.
Like this: http://www.partsamerica.com/ProductD...rtnumber=85732
Steps:
1.Remove the 3 bolts on the Left side ( the clutch lever side ) mid fairing and any other push clips holding the fairing & Remove.
2.There will be 3 Relays next to each other with wires coming off. Seperate the MIDDLE relay.
3.There are 4 Wires coming out of it as follows:
-Black/White = Ground
-Blue/Black = Fan
-Blue/Orange = Constant Power (12v)
-Blue/Green = Trigger (what triggers the relay, works when 12v is applied)
4.Strip a section on the Blue/Black & Blue/Orange Wires.
5.Soder a seperate wire to each wire: ( Blue/Black & Blue/Orange ).
6.Connect the ends of the wires ( the ones you just added ) to the switch.
7.Tape everything up ( or heatshrink )
8. Now the switch can activate the fan at any given time, but remember to turn it off.
NOTE: For those who just want the fan on all the time instead of using a switch just connect the BLUE/BLACK to IGNITION. Also DO NOT just cut the Blue/Black & Blue/Orange wires because if the bike gets hot and you dont turn the fan on, it will overheat.

i had my brother come over and do the soldering. We took the pins out of the relay and soldered the wire into the pins and plugged them back in, made a switch on the sidefairing bracket.. works perfect! thanks rog..
