Yes fairly common issue here in the UK. Mine packed up over 18 months ago, and Im aware of others in the UK with broken ones. At the time it couldnt be repaired, a new one is £500 but I managed to get a 2nd hand one for £250 (mine is a gen 1 2013 model)
You are now able to get them repaired in...
I use EBC HH on all my bikes, even my 250 scooter. I find they are powerful enough to lock the front wheel with a massive squeeze (on both my MT & Xmax) so have never felt the need to upgrade to something with evem more stopping power

Usually when Im stuck in traffic, the temp can reach about 102 or 105, then the fan kicks in and it cools back to about 98 then the fan goes off.
Does the radiator look OK, some people attempt...
Let us know how you get on, not a problem I am aware off. Is the oil clean or milky white?
Top of my head I would guess either failed water pump, blockage or failed head gasket.
I dont think an air lock would cause this (it may have had a coolant change at service before dealer sold it)
I dont use the backing plates. A little bit of use should scrub the pads in, and the resistance should slowly disappear.
If you still have an issue then syringe out some brfake fluid, but I doubt it will come to that
