Rabid, the two items, the thermo-switch and the thermostat have similar functions, but aren't tied together. The thermostat only determines when to allow water to circulate through the engine. When the engine water temperature goes above the temp of the thermostat, it opens. The thermo-switch determines when to turn on the radiator fan based on the water temperature in the radiator. If the water temp is higher than the temperature of the thermo-switch, then it turns on.

Hi.You seem to know your way around motorbikes.Could you help me?...I tested the thermo switch and its ok.The temperature goes up to 3/4 and the fan kicks in ...but straight after it starts going very slow( the fan) and stops and the temperature keeps rising.I grounded the cable that goes to the thermo switch and the fan spins really fast so i guess there is no problem with fan....so what can it be.?/?/YOUR sugestions would be much appreciated.....P.S i have a honda CBR 600 Fy 2000....thank you very much
Manny sounds like the switch is not 100 % even if it clicks on and then fades off.
As for alternates that run at lower temps , I believe a Nissan Pulsar (83 switch) works
although not tried it yet myself but intend to as my 93 1000F has a dicky switch with
same problem as yours Manny
oem nissan part # 21595-01A00 or

It's a 2 terminal switch where you apparently just ground out one side
to the frame for it to work, metric 16 X 1.5 thread
