No it looks like a potential AC problem to me.......
Sorta like bent running boards, overheating engines because Poo didn't engineer their sleds correctly,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, yea, so about the same thing
Are you as FIRED up as this guy was to ride his new M1100T?

Anybody ever rode a 2011 M8 163 on trail? The rear coolers is the size of a stamp and gets hot very fast! Same goes for the small cooler on the 2012 HCR, never seen it in action, but that also seems like its going to overheat alittle.
And by judging this video in this topic, the M1100 Turbo's are getting pretty hot too

HCR cooling on mine has had zero issues!
You guys crack me up i have seen several sleds over the years burn up. Even brand new trucks. It sucks but face it we live in a world of mass production and we are human...
Polaris has there issues, skidoo has theres and cat has theres. You guys that flock every-time a cat goes down are dicks, although polaris and doo were not my choices for 2012 i wouldn't curse any of them to break...or point when they do.
Sorry to here about your buddys sled glad they took care of him.

Joe. . . I can attest for the 2011 standard rmk 800 in the pro chassis I rode last year out in west yellowstone to overheating on the trail. . . I saw 160 degrees. . . That is toOOOOO hot. If I had not stopped it would have kept climbing and I was already what I would consider the danger zone. Another side note is that the standard 2011 rmk with the pro chassis had more cooling that the PROrmk did.
Also 4 strokes run alot hotter. . . this is normal. A 4 stroke likes to run in the 170-200 degree range. 2 strokes like the 120-135 degree range.
The coolers on the 4 stroke are going to feel considerably hotter than the 2 stroke sled.
Bent running boards? No but I will get a chance to see a few in February when I see you and Ricks sleds...... As steam is pouring out of your hoods from fried engines that got too hot........ LOL

I don't think you realize how excited I am to get out there this year!!! So much to witness!! I have to say the number one best thing about me dropping my snow check M800 for the Polaris is brand competition on the trip!!! How much fun would it have been if everyone had loose jackshafts!?!!?

I will probably be on my own with Tim much of the time this year, so Hilly will probably will need to be the AC representative. I dont want to bring Tim into some of the areas (At least at first) that we ride.
12 year old on a new sled (New to him sled that is), never been in the mountains, light, has not learned to sidehill yet and a worried dad to boot.
Probably just stay on the trails with the scratchers on

I just realized I wanted to point out I thought the prormk was a great sled. . . But it could have used another 80 hp. Also the reliabilty of the engine scared me.
Also, it depends on where in the cooling system the temp sensor is.
I wouldn't be afraid of 160° coming right out of the engine, but I WOULD be afraid of 160° going INTO the engine.

First thing you tell him. When going up a hill and it starts to veer to the left or right STOP before you get close to the trees. He couldnt understand that his 80 lbs on a 136 couldnt pull it back up hill. it wont just magically start going straight up the hill again! Been there..

I am pretty sure on all engine the are checking temp on coolant returning to the engine. . I think. . . Either way the 4 strokes are allowed to run hotter.

The reliability of the engine scares me as well, although I am coming off a 2007 800R so that's really not a new experience.
Had my 800R not blown up a half hour into last years trip I would have never ridden the new RMK, so who knows what I would be on. Come to think of it, if the Ski-Doo dealer would have had any 800 Etecs available I would have rented one of those instead!! Lots of things had to happen for me to end up on a Polaris, and just like that, I fell in love. I can't wait to run it against my dad's old 2010 M8 (which I still think was a little better off-trail than the RMK) and his new 2012 M800. And you know what, I'll even compare it to Hilly's new turbo just for the fun of it.
Anyway, when I was running my new sled on the track stand here a week or so ago, my temp was WAAAAAY higher than 150 before my overheat light came on. Is that normal? If they didn't put the actual temp gauge on the sled I wouldn't even worry until the light flashed. Any advice is appreciated.
And Jeff C - by the second day timmy will be ready for Taylor... I mean come on, Jorma can make it!!!!!

I bet a poo owner cut the fuel line and sabotaged it!!!! At least thats the way it seems when something happens to a new pc. The pro always gets dragged into the conversation to distract everyone from whats going on. Yeah there are problems with them too but why does everything thats posted over end up turning into "yeah well I may have blown a belt put the pro i was riding with cracked a running board"? Who the **** cares??

joe, common for the temp light. . . The sled in adaquate snow will only run 135 degrees at the most. . This tells me that another 15 is alot hotter and still no temp light but I bet it is pulling timing back . . . = power loss. And poo is pulling timing for a reason to reduce engine power and load at those temp because it is to hot.
