Thermostat Switch Help

hi i have a K3 SV650s and im told by T7 Honda that my thermostat switch is broken, which figures becuase ive never reali seen the fan on, im just wondering if anyone knows if a thermostat switch from a curvy would fit on my bike,

Lol you are curious why fan doesn't work in this weather?

What made you check it?

it was in getting the valve clearances checked just and they must have noticed the fan wasnt working or sumthin! ill take their word for it, my fan never comes on, but the bike still seems to be able to keep a steady 89-103 degrees, never seen it go any hotter even in traffic!

Seems fairly normal to me.

Test the switch yourself IMO.

how would i do that? jus let it heat up standin still n see if it ever comes on? it will heat up to like 100 degrees then drop down to high 80's even when its sitting still, but the fan doesnt come on. Ive owned the bike since january last year and ive seen the fan on maaaybe twice, both times quite close to when i first got it

Yeah that is the thermostat cycling.

When's the last time the coolant was changed?

T7 changed the coolant wen they wer doin the valves, so couple of months ago just

Fair enough, to take switch out to test it you need to drop the coolant though.

yeh ano they told me that! do you recon its vital that i get it done? i never had a problem with it overheating last summer and it was out in quite a few hot days. Ill see if i can win that ebay auction, soldering wires isnt hard so i mite just give it ago.
