03 GSXR fan issues

Ok let me start off my saying I don't know anything about wrenching on my own bike. I know I should and I'm ashamed at my lack of knowledge but it is what it is. Ok on to my problem. I have recently come to the conclusion that my fan isn't working on my bike. I have seen my temp climb to 225 with no sign of the fan coming on. After talking to a few people I have realized that 200+ is to hot for my fan to not be on. Ive also been told that if it was coming on I would hear it. I can hear my buddies come on from 10 feet away with my lid on so I know it should be audible. So if Im correct and its not working what should I be looking for? Ive checked the fuse and its ok. So if its not the fuse is there any common issues I should be checking for? I haven't had her out much this year so she hasn't gotten very hot yet. Im gonna see if I can get the temp up tomarow and start investigating but i don't know where to start looking. It hasn't been a problem really because I rarely ride in traffic and while shes getting good air flow she runs plenty cool but I would still like to get her fixed. Like I said I don't really know my way around my bike but I do have a general knowledge of engines so Im not a complete idiot. (well my wife might disagree with that statement)
