Default Temp Light Turns Red after driving for 30 mins

HI,

I just bought this 86 Suzuki Intruder VS700. It's Temp Light on the instrument panel turns Red. Last time I took it to a nearby shop and they checked the Coolant and found that coolant was Not existent!! SO They Flushed and filled the coolant. Bike started to handle much better. Now however the Light still gets on after I ride it for (say ) 30 mins It used to get on really early w/o coolant. It goes on and off. Is it normal ..?

Also, After they filled the coolant, I seen some vapors coming out of a pipe next to it. Later the vapors stopped.

Otherwise I love the Bike and being a new rider I am enjoying the riding.

I am also looking to change it's oil myself (do not know how to do it )
