Radiator fan/Over heat problems

What’s up guys. I’m new to this forum and the can am world.

I have a 2013 Can Am commander 1000 and last weekend I was riding in hot temperatures and shortly after the ride began I noticed my temp gauge was maxed out. My ride was in limp mode also. Now I hadn’t been riding it hard but was playing a little. After I had stopped I noticed the fan would come on but would not stay on long even with my temp running full bars. I wired the fan straight to the battery to get fan to stay on and after an hour of sitting and adding water (or what little water it would take) it finally started to cool off. Rode it after that to get wind circulating through radiator and it got hot again after no piece of riding.

Now I thought maybe it just needs a new fan. It took WAY to long for my ride to cool off after it had gotten hot, and while I’m not familiar with the can ams much yet, I know that it wasn’t normal to take that long. Thought about getting a new fan and toggle switch to keep fan on entire time I’m riding. What do you guys think?
