Sounds pretty normal. Does it come on after starting it up and idling for 1 minute? Or is it that you are riding and stop for a minute and then is comes on?

Mine comes on in the woods all the time at slow speeds, and it will also come on if I stop riding and let it idle for a minute or even less.

Make sure your coolant is full, clean, and circulating just to be safe.

well 100kms is about 60mph, i think 82kms is about 50-55mph. I can go 133kms top speed which is just over 80mph.
