That is a bit on the hot side for the fan to be cutting in?

My figures seem to differ in every way to yours Pleiades. Could my thermostat be cactus??? Should I test that next??? What do you suggest?

Your results are going to differ as the ambient temperatures are quite different in your part of the world. Also it is entirely plausible that your domestic market XTs have different thermostats and coolant/water concentrations to suit your climate, which are not the same as the UK models and will alter readings.
The only way to check the cooling system is doing what it should is to plug the bike into a diagnostic tool and check the coolant temperature that the ECU is reading is within tolerance and how it compares that displayed on the TTO.
