I was riding with my wife(she does not like speed) yesterday at 20 to 25 MPH when the overheat alarm started. Slow to 1200 RPMs and it stops. This continued until we decided to take it home.I just had the water plump replaced last May by a professional. Thinking it might be the thermostats I started to replace them and found there was no thermostats under the casing. I put two in. This motor has been running great for the last 2 months.After replacing the thermostats I started fast 40 to 50 MPH with no alarm. Found that speeds of 20 to 25 the overheat alarm will go off. I let it cool down and ran 40 plus MPH with no alarm. Run slow overheats / run fast cools down. This is an 1985 XR4 pushing an 18 foot Ranger. Please give advice
