I did a short run with the 800 in peak traffic yesterday - about 12km. It was a bit on the hot side and ambient was about 31 degrees Celsius.  When I switched the bike of I got s slight coolant smell and when I looked down at the reservoir I saw quick squirt of coolant from the reservoir cap.  The coolant that came out was warm but not burning hot.  Switched the bike back on and temp indicator was normal.  I let it idle and the fan came on like normal.  No further issues.  Coolant in reservoir not boiling or anything.  It was like an air burp or similar.  I did stop promptly with the front brake just before I switched the bike off and noticed the coolant burp, but nothing else out of the ordinary.

Do I need to worry about this?
