2000 TRX 450ES Oil Temp

Hello all , I am helping a friend with his 2000 450ES. The bike was running hot and the fan was not coming on ( no display ), so he has replaced the Speedometer head ( display ), Fan control module and oil temp switch. Now when the lower engine gets about 210*F + the oil temp light will come on and the fan will run. It will cycle on and off a few times but seems to be working correct. You can also ground the wire on the switch and the fan and light will run.
My question is – shouldn’t the fan cycle on and run before it gets hot enough to turn on the oil temp light ?
I have not had many dealings with oil temp on these , usually its just the wire is tore off the switch.
Thanks
