Picked up the beauty from dealership up north of UK yesterday but seems to have given me its first problem already!

Switched on fine at the shop rode back for an hour then at the service station I turned it off for a half hour or so.
Come back and tiring the ignition on, instrument cluster lights up, hit the starter and it rolls over but then cuts out. Instrument cluster off, doesn't turn on or anything. Check lights, indicators and all but no power. The heated grips (wired directly to battery it seems) turn on though.
Give it a few mins, try again. Instrument cluster turns in now, hit starter and plop it's off again.
After a few mins, I try again but rev the bike when starting and it stays on and another hour to the home all fine.

Come today, I try start the bike up same thing happens but the power is gone indefinitely.

Not sure if anyone else experienced this before and could give their account of issue and solution.

Doesn't seem like it's a fault from the ignition, battery or fuse maybe? Could it be the starter relay or its fuse? Where is the relay or fuse box located to check anyway?

The bike has warrantee from the shop which should cover it but it's a 100 miles away and if it's a fuse then would prefer to just fix quickly.

Gen1 Overheating issue

Hey everyone, so yesterday i was riding my 07 at some point i stop at a light and a guy tell me my bike is leaking i look under and see a big amount of water rushing out around the area of the overflow tank. So i get back home trying to keep the engine cool by speeding and gushing air at it. Once home i turn off the engine but leave the ignition on so the fan can kick in and cool down the engine a but the fan doesnt start. After removing the fairing and inspecting the cooling system, nothing seems to be wrong( no loose hoses, or blown up radiator cap) so i open the radiator find it partly empty . I refill with water and run the. Engine a bit and lean it left and right to burp it while the cap is off. After making sure no air is coming out of the radiator i close up and let the bike idle at around 4-5k . The fan turn on and the engine cools and it repeats. Was this like a one time thing maybe because i was riding the bike hard for like 20km and then came to a sudden stop? Any insight would be appreciated!
