Of course I never let it go there. Unfortunately no temp indicator on it. The two Poos have a temp indicator and I have run them up to 90C without any temp warning, got a bit worried. You will actually get two heat warnings...first the flashing light on the dash to re-warn you to get into some snow than big letters on the display when it gets up there. Too bad about Denver's doo doo....but nice to hear he has a good dealer taking care of him & in the text, he still sounds like cup is half full. Reminds me of when he took the poo poo out there for the first time, if I'm not mistaken, ended up on a doo by the end of that season....wonder if it will be time for him to try the next manufacture....

Yah, I did not let it get that far. Time for scratchers and all good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really do work great.....I run them pretty much f/t, temp stays between 120 & 130. And BTW, the Cat does have a temp setting, forgot to mention it above. If you have the deluxe gauge, you can view a bunch of things like coolant temp, voltage, etc.....Push & hold the two buttons on the gauge that are above each other (two on the left) for about 10 seconds, you will see the display portion where your trip/hours are normally displayed change to a bunch of numbers, hit the increment button (the one on top) until you see the first two digits state 03, the number to the right of 03 will state your coolant temp. if you turn the sled off or go into reverse, you need to redo the same process to get the temps back. Great for initial start up or riding in marginal conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm glad to see this. I thought there was a way to see it just never read into it enough. At royal now grabbing scratchers to put on. Hopefully it snows tonight and tomorrow. Seen the warning blink last time I was up and didn't like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poncho Posted January 23, 2017 Author Share Posted January 23, 2017 (edited) I saw three 850's this weekend and two were running ice scratchers. I used to run them on my 14 Indy 800, as it had a similar open tunnel to the 850's and a small sized snow flap. My new XCR no issue, I never saw more than 129F even on ice. The Rush/Axys/XCR chassis per design runs cooler with the closed in rear skid. Edited January 23, 2017 by Poncho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZRSledhead Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 My '16 Pro s 800 runs similarly cool even under poor / icey conditions. Extended trip down the side of a road yesterday saw it in the mid to high 150s, back into the low 120s within a short distance once back on good snow. Just for comparison, no doubt temp light would have come on requiring I stop at least twice on my former '11 F8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to look it up in my owners manual for the ZR7000. I know I have a bar similar to the fuel gauge but didn't know about the actual temperature. I know it has a fan and a heat exchanger in the tunnel as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will find no details in the owners manual in regards to this.....although I think you might have the Yamaha inspired gauge vs. the Cat gauge, not sure what details they might give you in regards to that sled/gauge.

I also still mix gas and you guessed it...zero room to carry it on my sled. Good thing my old man is around to be my sled parts sherpa.
