Running temps

[Live2ride777]

If the reservoir isn't full, start there. Completely full and stays full as you ride it (may burp out an air bubble). Make sure cap is fully seated. If that doesn't fix it, I'd check the thermostat. It's accessible by removing the primary clutch. I'd troubleshoot based on symptoms, not assumptions about parts being good because they're new-ish. But this sled should be covered under warranty?

Yes it is covered. If I’ll add the coolant before I bring to the dealer with possible t stat problems. Thank you for the help though!

anybody on the scratcher subject ? Anything better than stock ?

My sled has warranty but I opted to do the T-stat my self because as the dealer says, If they don't find an issue with the t-stat, I'm the one paying the bill... I did end up finding a bad t-stat but The thought/worry to have to pay them ~$200 vs $25 for the t stat and a bit of my time... And yeah my t-stat was indeed broken.

My 18 over heats easily. Will the 20-21 thermostat work on a 18 ? The 20-21 thermostat is $50 cheaper so something must have been changed.

What's the Part number for those thermostats. Cant find them on the parts breakdown

Adding the jaws pipe in ceramic next week when it gets here b interesting to see if that helps or.hurts dunno??

Could you post a pic? I bought some for my 21 alpha but just can’t seem to find a good mounting location.

Thanks- Did you just re-use the gasket? it's more than the thermostat.!

Sorry buddy for sort of hy-jacking the thread, I was responding to you to simply get the part number to you quickly instead of you waiting for response from Proclimb 800. I have never replaced my thermostat, however if I was doing it I would order the gasket "PN #0930-026" along with the thermostat in case the gasket tears when opening the cover. If the factory uses gasket sealer it will tear. I hope you get your response from Proclimb 800 to answer your original question.

No problem- thermostat AND gasket is ordered

Here are a couple pics added the rubber on the spring end just for a little added protection (lol) on the top of the ski piece of 1/4 vacuum tubing .
