   Mines usually on about 50%
   Goes to about 75% when sitting in traffic
   
   Wouldnt worry too much unless your in the red when driving normally
   
   I have a VTR too

   Mine runs 50% roughly, there is also a bubbling sound coming from right hand side of radiator/hoses as your looking at the car, have fitted a new thermostat, and bled system twice, bubbling still there, any idea's ?

   Regardless of the vehicle temperature should be sitting at half way when driving, occasionally slipping to 3/4 when stationary
