Head Scratching Hawk/Storm Exhaust Temp, Idle & Blinkers

I purchased a Bashan/Roketta Storm 250 a few weeks ago and am currently in the break-in period. I have been letting it just run for a while to help it break-in faster. I have two questions. One: how hot should the exhaust be? I measured the temperature with an infra-red thermometer and it's about 311°C/592°F at the bend right off the head. Two: is there an easy way to determine idle speed without fancy equipment? I adjusted the screw on the side of the carb to what sounds OK to me but I don't have a whole lot of experience. I thought about maybe doing a slow-motion recording on my phone and using a video editing program to count the power strokes but that sounds kind of ridiculous. Three: should the turn signal on the Bashan Storm make an audible *tick-tick* sound to let you know the signal is on? My bike makes no noise at all when the turn signals are on. OH! and can anybody recommend a good/easy digital gauge to me (Samdo/cheap eBay "universal)? The stock one SUCKS terribly! Thanks for any help anybody can give me! I'm enjoying the bike so far...aside from having to basically guess what screw go where!
