thank you all for your replies, regards the 900ml oil top up i am not sure why it was so low. after selling my curvy 650 18 months ago for a inline 4 bike it soon became a big regret, 4 weeks ago i noticed this k4 sv on ebay and purchased it for £900. low price yes but the bikes got 43k on the clocks. in that 4 weeks all that i have done is changed the fork seals fitted new rear tyre and set the bike up for my riding style. i never checked the oil but did so after i had taken the bike for a ride to be mot'd. i will be dropping the oil and changing the filter soon anyway. the low oil might have been the reason why the temp soon shot up to 90 and in traffic hit the 106 and kicked the fan in. no smoke out of the cans but it as a backfire on shut off on the r/h side can, having said that the bikes been mapped and dyno'd to a power commander 3, k&n filter and race cans and the backfire may just be down to a duff plug.
at the moment it's just trial and error but will keep you all posted on how the bike runs when i start putting miles on it and without doubt i will be turning to you guys for advice.
thanks again all
