Engines Temps

[TallCan]

My engine temps seem to run high. Loose/Fresh snow I'm running 160*-180* my buddy with same sled is 110*-120*. How do I test thermostat and or burp coolant system. Should this be covered under warranty? Any other thoughts? Thanks

Should be covered under warranty, so have your dealer look at this. They need to have record of this in case this a "root" of a problem that surfaces later. Those high temps are VERY unusual in loose or fresh snow, and are what you might see on hardpack or icy trails. I see 110 to 115 temps in fresh snow. Dealer will be able to properly burp the coolant system and/or test thermostat.

I do know there had been some isolated issues with the new thermostat system on 19 850s. Should be handled under warranty easily. Those temps are crazy, you should rarely leave your thermostat temps when riding in powder.

Now the bigger question: Where is he finding those fantastic conditions this time of year?

Call me crazy but I see no sign of a thermostat
