So the rear light was sorted, and the bike was doused in ACF50 and wintered well in a garage.

All is well and I took it for a chilly spin last weekend.

I'd like to test the rad fan as I've never heard it working - maybe it never got hot enough? Is it as simple as disconnecting the ECT sensor on the thermostat and bridging the coupler so that the fan will come on with the ignition? The fan itself turns freely.
