At what water temp does the engine light start flashing, or go into limp mode? I have seen 160 degrees and no indication on the panel....
What water temp does the engine light start flashing?

I know its above 185 because I've had 185 on mine (icy road - forgot to put scratchers down - oops!)

Well I just answered my own question. I found a link to 2012 Pro manual. I assume it would be the same for the 2013.

I saw 215 deg F on the trail when I lost my aftermarket snow flap. I was riding slow about 30mph with light throttle and engine started to miss. I did not see a light come one because the indicator lights on the multi-functional display are recessed and easily are filled in/obscured with snow.
I'm getting a Terra Alps thermostat kit and better ice scratchers. I'm sick and tired of having to watch the temp gauge so much and I'm tired of it running hot on the trail. If that doesn't fix it, then I'm off to the local TIG welder to install some additional cooling. If that doesn't work, then I'll trade it in for a Doo Freeride. My wife's 2008 700 IQ runs 120-125 deg F all day long on and off trail without ice scratchers.

The terra alps helps but I was getting 170 on a trail (with scratchers). The pro rmk is just not a trail machine, needs more coolers/ less track lug. Had a '14 assault right beside me he was 40degrees cooler with busted up scratchers.

The best way to cool when on the trail is get off trail whenever you can.
