Cold, oil should be in the XX marks with bike on wheels stood up straight, so is yours?  If yes it's ok.
Coolant should remain between min/max marks whatever the temperature - does yours? If yes it's ok - leave it alone.
Fan should cut in and out between 6 or 7 to 9 bars.
Coolant temp 4-6 is normal, 7/8 is hot but ok.
Sound like you are worrying over nothing.

10 bars flashing with waring light on is stop the engine.
If the water pump was not running you'd get the overheat warning very quickly.

Thanks for that, ill give it a go!!!

Good grief, Sidewinder.  Are you literally psychic? 

Yes, twisting the throttle immediately changes the noise, in a smooth linear curve. It's so responsive to twist that I could probably play the national anthem on it. This is a ride-by-wire bike, so I think throttle actuator must be the defect. I can't inspect further without removing fuel tank & airbox, so the bike will be going to a local dealership for repair. 

Thanks again.

Hey Speedrider,

Are the two screens still available?
