Hmm..I guess we will have to wait for your report then.

It's been working for us for a a few years on the Pros and Axys, without any issues. I know of a few dozen people who threw them in a box and never looked back. We just let them warm up nice and good in the morning to a 100+ operating temp before hammering the throttle.
I ran into hot coolant temp detune quite a bit last year.
It's real.
If you don't have an issue that's great.
(A laid back riding style is ok, you shouldn't feel like your manhood is threatened)
Well, who knows, maybe more track clips will magically appear to fix another non-issue, too
The more heat that you can pull out of the heat and cylinder the less chance of detonation, you can also built more horsepower and have a happy and efficient motor. It will also help with under hood temps. Maybe a lot of people won't notice but for people like me who like to tune its a great upgrade
They should have done this a long time ago!
One of the first things I did to my Pro and my Axys was take out the thermostat and throw it in a box, never to be seen or heard from again. Temps are down in the 80's and 90's ALL day. Sled runs great (might have something to do with the shaved head, TKI gearing, SLP pipe, and Diamond S can).
As you can tell, I wouldn't bother upgrading this part since I don't even keep it in my sleds. Save the money and just take the thing out and never look back. Just my $.02
With the 80-90 degree temps, are you experiencing any problems with the ECU running in an enrichment mode?
Well, the MY18 T-stat WILL NOT fit in/on the MY16-17 head cover.

Is there an easy way to modify the head cover of a 16/17 to make the 18 stat fit or to modify the 18 stat to make it fit in 16/17 head cover?
If not doesn't anybody know where a guy could start looking for a stat the same as the 16/17 that opens at 110 instead of 125?

Not at all. Sled runs perfectly fine, and stays cool all day every day.
Still gets hot on long trail rides out in the morning or back in the afternoon, but that's what the scratchers are for. I think the highest temp my Axys has seen is ~142 on the trail, at the end of a spring day.
Is think on an RMK or SKS axys?
I talked to Indy Specialty, they are releasing one soon.

Removed the t-stat, put the rubber ring back in and plugged the hole that would let fluid go down into the bypass hose.

Has anyone tried this?
Don't you mean the new stroked 840?
Folks.. I'm sad to say he had jumped the gun. Said it was done when he only had a plan..
When he was pushed on it, he caved..
Sorry.
