Any ideas?
Have you checked the fuse?

The Tenere doesn't get especially hot - however, while I was in the US I found a stone had jammed the fan blades, and subsequently the fuse had blown on the odd occasion it had got hot, so the fan never cut in... I only realized once the coolant started boiling over...

If the fuse is good, then maybe you could just leave the bike running until it gets hot enough for the fan to come on? If it doesn't after about 5 minutes, then there is probably a problem with the thermostat switch or something?
