What were the riding conditions? If you were on hard pack or riding very marginal snow conditions, that's gonna happen. I used to stop and dump snow on my floorboards to keep from over heating. You're going to want to install a rear heat exchanger

We were riding on the road for some and bouncing into fields with 15-18 inches of powder and thanks for the input.
if it happens again pay attention to any sequence the light flashes.
i have had problems with the wires connected to the temp sensor where they enter the connector loosing contact. the slightest bump will make it go off or just a wiggle can make it come on.
when you lifted the hood to check the coolant you may have moved it and then while riding home it bounced out again. just a thought.
