When my water pump was taken out the impeller was virtually non existent. That of course affects the circulation and the cooling. But I did find on a car that doing the radiator at 100k miles took out a phenomenal amount of crud from inside the radiator. I used petrol and left it in it for a few hours then washed it out with a hose. I refilled it with more petrol and left it overnight and then washed it out again.
Getting the radiator off is a bit painful though- knee pads and storage boxes, fairing lower panels and radiator panel have to come off. Since the rad was off a few weeks ago to get at the fan it will come off easily.
In the meantime get Bikey wrapped in white and some BBC stickers and numbers and you can merge with the other Ks.........just as Rossko says....
