Default 2000 Sportsman 500 RSE Overheating.. but no light!

ok... I have a 2000 polaris Sportsman RSE. I just recently got it. It is overheating after a very short amount of time. The overheating light does not come on, but you can hear that it is too hot! The fan is not comming on. Where should I start to troublshoot this?

How could I check the water pump?? I have read how to check the temp sensor and the fan. I want to be able and sit down and do all of my checks once. That is why I am asking before I do the other things.

I know I need to check the:
1. fan
2. clogged radiator inside and out
3. temp sensor
4. look for kinks, etc.

what else should i do??

thanks in advance!
