Since the bike has no water temp gauge.... how worried do I need to be about possible over heating the motor while I'm practicing these skills at the parking lot?

I'm not doing just these two things...when I get bored I'll go pick up some speed and work on my quick stops, followed by my starts from a standing stops for a bit and go back to the incline starts.

Do I need to be worried about over heating the engine?, or anything else I maybe missing?

Thanks for the help guy's

you need to worry about screwing up your engine, read break-in proceedures and find unpopulated areas with high speed limits.
