I had the same problem on my 07 250. If yours has a Ducati ignition you should check the aluminum finned box mounted at the steering head. If the green insulation on the back side has brown burn marks you will need to replace it. If you have a Kokusan ignition there is a small, less expensive part to replace. Not sure where that is. The thermostat is hidden in the upper right corner of the radiator. My first symptom was overheating, then erratic fan, then no fan.

Before going that far I'd check the thermostat is working. A multimeter or continuity (buzzer) should do it or a bulb some wire and a battery. When the bike is hot the contact should be made.

I think it was before 2007 but GG did suggest changing out some thermostats in the past due to problems. The suggested solution was an in-line unit in the top hose.
