I saw Dave there and he said it was running well

I might try a test: putting the choke on when I'm running at 65 and then taking it to 70/75 and holding it it a while to see how hot it gets.

I find the CHT values to be an arbitrary measurement at best.
My TS1/200 CHT sensor sits buried 3mm above the combustion bowl.
I think 310F is the maximum value I've ever seen on it.
I'm still non the wiser as to what the safe maximum value is, and suspect I would only find out after holing a piston (if I remembered to look at the gauge after costing to a stop!).
My eyes are too old to read the bloody clock when riding anyway, and it has lost its accuracy as they all do after a few months of use because the stock RTD style sensor naturally suffers from stress drift.
