What should my temp needle be reading as mine is still reaching the far right at traffic lights !?

Have topped up the rad with coolant and the expansion tank is reading full, but the needle still near enough hits the red (in the little gap between white and red) when idling for a short while. Theres no change in power or any noises or anything, just dont want it to run toooo hot ! I havent actually waited any longer to see if it does actually over heat, to concentrated on getting away from the lights for some air flow so the needle will drop ! Maybe me being paranoid !

Cheers

i had the same problem with my dtr once, just after i rebuilt the top end, the thermostat had stopped working. so check your thermostat, by placin it in a cup of boiling water or something to see if it opens. if it dont get a new one or just get rid of it, because i got rid of my thermostat and bike runs just as good maybe even better without it.
