Empty cooling tray
Good morning, I'm writing about my 2024 Duke 790.
It was serviced two weeks ago at the official KTM workshop.
On Sunday, I was out riding, not in the city, so I was riding at moderate speeds through the curves.
The fifth temperature light came on (it usually reaches 4 maximum even when riding fast).
So I stopped. The bike was super hot. I checked the reservoir, and it was empty.
I'll wait for it to cool down and then go home.
So, I did various tests: when completely cold, the reservoir was empty; when warm, it always remained empty. So, the reservoir fluid was completely dry.
I topped it up, bringing it to halfway between the minimum and maximum levels.
I wrote to the dealer about the situation, and they wrote: "This is a recovery tank, so it's bound to be empty."
So, what should I do? I find it absurd that it tells me it's fine despite it being below idle, even completely dry.

I installed the aluminum radiator guard a month ago. Could that also be the problem with the overheating?
