I have a snow checked 22 Ski Doo Summit X (Gen4) w/ Expert Package 850 E-TEC Turbo 165” 3”… Been riding McBride (Renshaw) and Valemount (Westridge, Clemina, Chappell, Allan Creek) mostly this season since the sled arrived at the end of December. (British Columbia, Canada)
Has anyone else with these sleds experienced constant heat issues on the trails up and down the mountains? Even with scratchers down (rail mounted) and “chainsawing” down when possible all the way up and down the trails my sled tends to overheat and leaves me stuck on the sides of the trails wasting time cooling it down. This year has been tough with hard packed icy conditions on the trails but nothing too extreme like riding on exposed dirt for any length of time. Once I get up to actual snow in the riding areas the sled is flawless and I have no heat issues whatsoever.
I have watched Norona’s video on the subject with the short tunnels and it seems like I shouldn’t be having an issue.
I have since picked up the expert snow flap but have yet to hit the mountains to ride. Looking like a couple weeks before I can test it out.
Do I possibly have a thermostat sticking, possibly not opening all the way and restricting coolant flow or is this a common issue with these sleds? Just looking for some insight through others experiences. The last thing I want to put this new motor through is excessive heat periods.
