I have 2013 evo but had a 2011 one too, when you hit traffic or are filtering anything below 50-60mph the temp will rise, my fans come on at 103 c engine then drops to 99 and fans go off then heat builds up again and so it goes round and round. I do believe Ducati say if it gets above 125 c then switch off immediately so you have a way to go.
My 1198 always gets to 104 in traffic at this time of year and sits there until I get moving, which is quite tricky most of the time, through central London.
