Hello friends, I was able to start my motorcycle and I am in love. However, whether I use it at night or during the day, the temperature always shows in red. What do you recommend?

Also my right foot, I feel a lot of hot air. Help me with this

Open the radiator cap,maybe you have to fill it up

Your MV is not known for overheating...air in the system is likely since it is brand new. Who did the pre-delivery set-up on it??? Maybe they missed some things......
Do realize that any modern high performance motorcycle engine runs at a normal temp of 200° F ...fans usually come on at 205 and shut off around 195......overheating is 230° F.

If refilling coolant, remember not to go above the 'MIN' level on the header tank, when cold

I have a new F3 with the same engine. The F3 may run a bit hotter since it has fairings, but I have the same issue. My bike runs with both bars red anytime there is stop-and-go traffic, but it goes back to green pretty quickly once moving constantly. The owners manual says the red bars mean temperature greater than 115 C but less than 125 C. Thats 239-257 degrees F. To me, that sounds insanely high. But the owners manual indicates it is not a problem until the bars flash (over 125C/257F). Again, that sounds rediculously high, but apparently they dont consider it overheating until then.
I really wish MV would put actual digital thermometers on these things like any other serious manufacturer does. Unless Im just not able to find how to display it, I cant get any coolant temp indication to display on the normal display...it has to be in race mode display. The computer obviously knows what it is.

MV...are you reading this?

My 2020 F3 kept puking coolant from hose below, until it eventually showed "H2O sensor malfunction". Of course i never added coolant, because i never did that either on my previous 39 motorcycles! At the track it was perfect, heat in middle. Once I stopped it puked coolant.

I did two things to fix it..... changed the soft 1.2bar radiator cap for an 1.8 bar cap (its a KTM part) which allowed coolant to overflow, and added Water Wetter (red liquid). OMG - now runs at least 1 bar lower temps on dashboard all the time. Water Wetter really works for me!

My issue now is fueling, it bucks at 1/3 or less throttle. On the track its brilliant - but not at normal road speeds. Any ideas? Thanks

Water boils at 212degreesF with no pressure.
With a 15psi pressure cap it raises the boiling point to 257degreesF.
1.2bar radiator cap equals 17psi.
Also with the aid of coolant you are pretty safe.
