July 22, 20242 yr I had a bike once (315 Cota) that changed idle so much when the fan kicked on that I installed a toggle switch to over-ride the thermostat, when I was going to ride a section I just switched on the fan and I knew it would not stall on me mid section because the fan kicked on. I thought it was a good feature to have a bypass switch and it never caused any problems having the 2 switches in tandem. If nothing else it's good for trouble-shooting.

I might try to connect a switch as well, seems like a good thing to have.
July 24, 20242 yr Author Little update, fan works as it should now. Rode for 30 minutes and no boil over, fan came on and off few times. It was the thermo-switch that was broken. Thanks a lot @konradand @lemurfor the help. Always learn something new.
