Same exact sled ran went from Cobra to Backcountry and the BC ran significantly cooler. Obviously compared with a riding buddies sled and not itself so same conditions. Generally what you say is true, but stiffness and shape can make a difference that will change the results. Lug flick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZR6000RR Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 This past weekend I had to replace a scratcher tip I put them in on the skid for the first time this year to see how the sled would react. I did add the tunnel flairs to the sled in the fall. I never saw over 115 F all day long, even running some icy roads for several miles to get to the next trail. Very little snow stuck in the skid. This was on my 2018 that I have ran scratchers down 95% of the time before this and were installed when new. Flairs? I don't know. Temps were in the single digits to - single digits.

My 2020 came with flairs and it ran very cool on anything but pure ice. That of course was a 137. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scratchers brought it down to 95-110 in all conditions. There simply is not enough snow to the heat exchanger without the scratchers.

Make sure you are full on coolant. Now that I know my 18 will run without scratchers down, I am happy to say the ice underneath is about a 1/4 of what it was with.

Only thing I have done different on mine. Have a set to put on my 22 when I pick it up next fall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p51mstg Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 I have a 2002 Polaris with the old “TXL” style heat exchangers under the running boards. That thing never overheats, no matter how long we let it idle, it’s unbelievable. I wish I could say the same for my Riot. The Polaris Edge chassis was pretty bad at overheating, too (but, significantly lighter, and they probably got all their weight savings from the cooling system).

It's weird as I run with other pro cross sleds and most dont have scratchers. Will see this weekend if it stays cool without them. My biggest issue is my front rear shock froze in compression for the start of our ride. Well it did sit in a compressed state for nearly 2 weeks in sub zero temps with 30-40 mph gusts. I know they need servicing, but if I do it now, my season is done. Please hold out to the middle of March. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You and all the girls enjoy your 600's and pretend that it is the exact same experience as the 8. Everyone I know that has had a Ctec 8 is now done with Cat. The last of the AC hold outs of my friends are changing camp. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone I know that has had a Ctec 8 is now done with Cat. The last of the AC hold outs of my friends are changing camp. What are you covering up? I have been on numerous other sites and the Ctec 800 is miles more reliable than any 800-850 Polaris. That is before the Cat update. Then the number triples. Poos 800 was so bad, they make a reliability kit for it by the after market. I dont need to hide my short falls by owning an 800. 600 is more than you can honestly handle. Deep Cravings. BTW, I am guessing you knew none to maybe one. Your to dumb to be accepted in the Cat breatherand. Betting most wont ride with you because of your hate! I will ride with anyone. Even pull them out of the woos when they are down. Guessing you would force them to buy you a new belt or leave them stranded. Rode with pricks like you before. We moved on. As I will now. Time to ignore the ass hats of the world. Starts with you! Edited February 23, 2022 by ZR6000RR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
