Here's what's happening:

1) Bike gets very close to or even in the red zone when the radiator fan is running while the bike is stopped.

2) Bike runs hot even during cool temperatures and while cruising along

3) Fan has to be jumped to start as it will not start on its own

4) The temp gauge shows the bike cooling down abnormally quickly after I turn her off for a few minutes.

I ran a continuity test between the two pins on the thermostatic switch and found it was not closing the circuit when the bike was very hot.

I am guessing the thermostat went out but it seems strange the thermostatic switch and the thermostat would go out at the same time.

Since the fan does run via a switch I am assuming the fuse is fine and there is no need to check it?

Is there an easy way to see if the water pump is operational?
