... you had no coolant left?
I had a carb heater hose come off the other week and I didn't notice at first. By the time I did things were a little hot, but there was no light.
I know on a lot of cars the thermometer is fitted in the thermostat housing or the block and with no coolant it doesn't read much.

As far as i'm aware there is no temperature warning light.

Not sure about the 600, but I can confirm for the 1000 the red temperature light comes on if there's no coolant left.
A cracked radiator and blown waterpump far from home is something you don't want to experience, believe me...

You're right, the sensor is on the thermostat block so it stays nice and cool if there's a leak.
My radiator developed a hole last winter... felt the bike was running a bit rough during the morning thrash through traffic to work, but it was only when I parked up that I noticed the engine seemed a bit hot and it stank of evaporated coolant. The warning light, of course, remained off. :rolleyes
