Fairly sure the tacho on the Africa Twin is driven from 1 of the ignition coils and/or 1 of the CDI units. I would suggest getting a large image of the wiring diagram from the web. Then if you can blow it up even further. That should give you an idea of which wire[s] you need to investigate. I have heard of and witnessed instances where moisture has gotten into connectors and cause all manner of strange problems. Also when checking the wiring make sure the insulation has not been damaged or some part of a connector or wire is not shorting to fame, engine or another electronic component.
Smack it and see if it comes on. If it does then the motor brushes are bad. If it does not come on, check the fuses. If the fuses are ok, check the voltage on the plug to the motor.
could be a bad coolant tempurature sensor if radiater cooling fan does not work, or a bad relay for fan in fuse box for the fan.. if all is ok ! disconnect fan at the connectors. on the motor side, run a wire from positive on battery, to pos itive fan motor. ground other wire to negative on battery. if the fan works its ok. good-day ! check relay and fuse for the fan first.
the fan motor is maybe bad, disconnect it (the motor) and put in new fuse, if its ok, then the motor is bad. the resistor only handles speeds lower than HIGH. so replace the motor first, then try it, if all speeds work, then the resistor is OK.
I have a 2002 ducati monster S4, it's fans come on at 212 degrees F, that is about 108 degrees C, They only come on in city traffic, and they have only come on twice in 8 years. Your coolant boils at 265F in a closed system, so depending on what the thermostat is set at, they are probably just getting ready to come on at 103. I kinda wish I had a switch that I could turn them on at any time, so it sounds like your bike is running normal, also, my bike runs at exactly 100 degrees hotter than the outside air temp, always. Hope this helps.
