Default Engine, cylinder(head) and radiator temperatura

I'm breaking in my new (January '09) KLX 250 S, and so far am still enjoying the purchase.

I'm driving the bike in Bali, in a mix of city-streets and small roads traffic. Only when I'm going off-road I'm wearing a leather suit, bikers boots or any other protective clothing. On the small trips (less than 10 miles) I usually wear "casual" or sports wear and shoes. Esspecially on those occassions I feel how hot the powerplant gets and I feel a little worried about the immense amount of heat produced by the engine that leads through the airflows against your legs. Also, the cylinder / head and engine block get VERY hot, but so far I haven't seen the temperature warning light on. I always check the liquid level in the cooling system, oil in the block, etc, and all are on "level" as adviced in the manual.

Am I worried to easily and is this heat-production common to the KLX or should I take precautionary measures to engine overheating problems, like make the fan kick in sooner, or others?
