yeah, did that to test if the fan is functional at all and it is. although doesn't come on when the temp is high and the ignition is on (engine off)
i decided this must be the switch and ordered a new one...

Hey!
Replaced the lower rad temp sensor/switch and guess what? The bike is not overheating anymore!!!!
I'm getting closer to getting the bike fully working. I just need a top rad cap in good nick and possibly the temperature sender (the one sitting in the thermostat)
Thanks All for your useful comments!
