Roy,
I don't have any data from Bajaj Auto on engine temperatures, but I can assure
you that they designed these engines for the hottest climates on the planet...
with a conservative safety factor on top of that.
I would think that the driver suffers much more from the heat than the engine.

You are using the right viscosity oil for those temps.?
