When the engine is off, running the fan won't do much, since the engine's water pump is not running.
If the fan thermostat fails it just means you can't run the engine with the bike not moving, or moving very slowly, until you replace the switch. If that does happen and you really need to ride very slowly, as in heavy traffic, you can just take any scrap of wire and short the thermostat contacts together. The thermostats don't fail very often though. Mine have never given me any trouble on any motorcycle.
