Was it just the once they failed to cut in or do the fans fail to cut in at all?

Have you recently changed the coolant or had any work done on the bike?

Mine kick in at around 94 degrees.

And the average running temp is around 76 degrees when moving along.

Also check the wires connected to the thermostat.. I had a problem with the fans not working, was a bad connection on the thermostat.

try running the fans direct of the battery to ensure they still work.

My fans cut in at 95 and go off about 93 if it's of any help.
