Been out on first ride today, coolant temp. didn't get above about 80, air temp was fairly warm about 17. Is coolant temp. likely to reach 220 so I can test function? The switch is just on/off, and as suggested switches the cooling fan on. When would I need to use this? Thanks for your responses.

I'm the recent proud owner of a '99VFR, it's running great, but I'm perplexed by a on/off toggle switch that has been mounted on the left hand side of the meter panel. It appears that the output from the cooling fan motor switch has had an additional wire added which is connected to this toggle switch with the other side of the switch going to earth on the frame. It seems that there is an opportunity to earth the cooling fan motor switch. Any ideas
