No snow flap, I agree, you spend so much on the sled, at least they can sell it complete.

Those temps with little powder seem fine. The sled will give you a warning red and shut down around 180.
Given all the ice this year, I've had to pull off trail and cool down a few times, usually at 165. And that is with a flap and ice scratchers down.
May try a potato sack filled with snow on the tunnel next ride.
true and dealers need to push the fact that flaps make a difference even though they'll come off as just trying to sell an accessory. as WM mentioned, sometimes that's not enough and you gotta pile some snow on the tunnel.

You want to avoid hitting hight temps, especially shut downs. Too many flags and your warranty will be rendered invalid.
Try to cool your sled down while it is running dont shut it off, the engine with heat soak and hit high temp.

My 24 Freeride 146 runs hotter than my 154 Summit X short tunnel 2.5 and 2023 Khaos 850na 155 with short tunnel 2.75.
In the deep snow the lowest temp I seen on the 146 was 112F and on the trails around 115F to 124F. So weird.
23 Khaos would run anywhere between 96 and 100F in the deep snow... Summit anywhere between 100F and 106F in the deep snow.
I had to add some coolant on my freeride, but she spit it all back out and down to a lower level again. Anyone else notice this or is this just a 146 thing?

Hot light comes on at 185. One guy today had a snow flap and it didn't help one bit if anything he was running hotter today
This happened on my G4 Expert last weekend, even with ice scratchers down and the warm temps! Spiked the temp light!
Few things our ride group has noticed...
- The 'expert' short tunnel runs hotter with this mini flap setup than a standard length full length flap does.
- A tunnel bag will hinder the heat exchanger on the top side of the tunnel, especially the short Expert model.
- The 3" track runs a full bar higher (hotter) than the 2.5" track does.

Yes, even though it shows "low" - it'll find it's way back to that level if you crack it and fill it up.
