Sam.... This is very typical for the 800 and does not indicate a problem. The system is simply doing its job. For every 1 time the fan comes on on my 1600, the fan on my wife's 800 comes on a dozen times...... or more! We also thought at first that this may be a problem, but we have learned over time that this is normal for her bike. We live in AZ with very hot temps. She rides everyday and has never experienced any problem with overheating. Be happy that your fan is working correctly.
