At what temperature does the temp light come on? Anybody know? Doing some spring riding up the trail to the mountain in low snow conditions I seen my temp get up to 165 for about 5 minutes before I shut 'er down! Just curious what temp the light lights up at?

The temp light shouldn't come on till somewhere just above 200*F. In all reality your ok to keep riding till around 180*F or so... once above that, you're getting pretty hot and need to stop for a bit and throw some snow on the tunnel coolers.

same as above, 200+ i believe. seen it once, and the temp light didn't clue me in to soemthing wrong.... the abundance of steam from the over flow getting boiled off on the pipe and the sled stumbling. now i keep my eyes peeled on the gauges in cruddy snow conditions. stupid whoops, track ate my mudflap, then the temp sky-rocketed FAST!!
