UTV overheating.
Overheating is a stop-and-protect problem. Before chasing sensors or parts, separate low coolant, airflow, fan behavior, mud blockage, and riding condition.
Start with what it does now. Bring the exact machine when the issue needs a plan.

Common questions
Can I keep riding if it cools down?
Be careful. Repeated overheating can cause serious damage. Treat it as a protection problem first.
