Over heating warning

[Cuzinjoe]

Hello everyone, I have a 2020 Can-Am Spyder F3 limited. I changed the oil last week and topped off the coolant. Yesterday I went for a two hour ride and 75° weather. We stopped to eat for about an hour and a half. I started the bike and let it out while I was putting on my gear at that time. A warning light came down and stated engine temp too high. The temperature gauge is all the way up into the red. Mine was only running for about five minutes and it was cool outside. I was only 10 minutes from my house so I got on the bike. I started riding within 30 seconds. The temperature gauge just dropped down to normal and the warning light went away. I just put a brand new battery in last week. Anybody have any idea what could be wrong? I’m going on a trip in a few weeks to Laconia.
Thank you

Are you certain the coolant reservoir cap is on correctly and correctly tightened?

Did you check the radiator tank cover? Assuming that there are no signs of leaks. Could be that there was some air in the system. Keep an eye on the coolant levels, and check what codes may have popped up.

Were the radiator fans running?

Sounds like air in the system or coolant low.
