Overheat Issues - 2022 Expert Turbo Short Tunnel

[live2beel]

Dave, is Ski Doo aware that bungee's and straps are necessary for there flap to work properly? Are they fine tuning it for the Gen5 ? Thanks!

actually fins are old tech and not as efficient.

Not as efficient as what?

Dude, they finally put LEDs in their sleds and NOW you get greedy and want a snow flap that's been out a few years to work right?

Shame. Shame. Shame. Shame...

I dunno. it took Polaris until , what, 2021 to include a tether???. Now, granted, if a sled was going to run away without a tether it is WAY more likely to be a skud than a Poo but still. They ALL do things that makes one scratch one's head and go "SERIOUSLY??". LED's?....MEH. Tether?, DUH!. Just sayin'

I must have gotten lucky. My snowflap hasn’t gotten stuck once and Ive done a lot of big whoops. I’ve made sure not to reverse down my ramp with it on though

the older finned design is less efficient than whatever they're doing now.

i'm just one data point but instead of the two straps on the flap and getting that set up all sorted, just push the rubber arms that attach to the bumper together as close as possible. as this is done you can see the snow flap pull away from the track. take one short bungee and wrap it around the arms to keep them squeezed together.

This is what I was talking about, looks way better than than a "bunny cord" or tie down strap + works great, pulls the entire flap out evenly not one side.

 

[summitizer]

That’s perfect, do what ever works to keep these sleds from over heating And it looks good.

 

[kanedog]

Do you think “bunny cord” will be a thing now?

 

[summitizer]

You bet!, lol

You need a snow flap and add a set of over the top rail mounted ice scratchers .The stock only scratchers don’t doo it.Norona claims never an issue just like he claims snowflap doesn’t get caught in the track sometimes.Check the post I have replied to in the past and all the people that have the same issue .You need s snow flap when it is hard and better scratchers.I have this setup on four sleds and it takes care of the issue.If you think the vacuum from the track doesn’t suck thee we flap in ,then why do you see a bunch of crazy contraptions to keep them out off the track on different peoples sleds

only way I could keep flap from track is to attach a bungy cord as tight as i can get it to bumper and top hole in flap

So do it and quit whining. Bahahahaha

The last vehicle you bought did you use a buggy cord to keep the door shut ? Yee ha

How does the snow flap work with an aftermarket bumper?

I’ve got a backwoods rear bumper and the stock bunnies don’t work for me, so I’ve been zip tieing them on and carrying extras when they break. Wish there was a better solution

 

[NHRoadking]

Could be worse. The Poo Slash's run hot and no crappy accessory snow flap for them yet.

 

[snow-doo]

Why March on down to the dealer,what we need is a mental evaluation for buying the snowflap to start with.Marching makes more sense than driving,and much more affordable.Keep on Buying the newest model with the newest problems,that is what I like

My solution to the overheating problem, Canadian tire pelican box, mount some linq mounts, fill with snow, lasts about 10-15kms with double scratchers down, ditch in trees at end of trail, remount tunnel bag on tunnel, go play and have fun. Doubles as massive snowmobeering springtime cooler for friends! Boom, fixed and no flap!
