220 is ok... 230 I'd worry 240 or more I'd shut It down.

 

Yup, my recommended warning temp (for max) is 230 degrees... As for normal operating temps i'd have to drive more than 10-15 minutes to find out:rofl3: right now my health won't allow that

Good luck!

 

You ok mike????

 

Ehhh, more issues w/ the heart 48 hours ago(it came w/ some severe headaches as well).. That's why I wasn't on at all yesterday or today.. My home nurse came & took care of me.

I'm in bed w/ the IPad tending to my addiction no worries though, Pre Op on the 7th & surgery soon, they will get this metal out of my spinal cord & I can live again!

 

Good...I'm with you on the headaches.

My head still hurts some.

Lol I'm on couch with my I pad

 

Sorry about the highjack!

Man I'm just glad your OK, you were all banged up... You gave everyone a scare..& we need not lose anymore friends....

The headaches can be the worst!!! Glad to hear your somewhat up...at least maintaining your #1 post count rating

:rofl3: gotta love it!

 

My normal operating temperature is 190 F when rolling. Haven't seen much more than that even when running in 100+ degree weather in Moab or at home in Colorado.

I did install the Quadovator switch that allows me to turn on the fan whenever I want. It does include the light that tells you when the fan is on.

For real hot weather running you might want to run the fan at all times. Note that with the Quadovator switch, shut the machine off with the switch on and the fan keeps running.

Just one other thought, have you raised the front of your machine and "burped" the coolant system to make sure there is no air in it?

 

Cool will try...

 

I ran water wetter in my 74 chevy and seen a 7 deg. difference. Not much in my opinon.

 

I live in texas and beat on my rzrs pretty hard. The other day we were riding and it was 105 outside. Rode all day, cruises at 200 degrees, fan comes on at 205 on the slow trails. I have seen it hit 210 for about 5 seconds, then the fan has it back down to 190.... Hotest i have seen it was after a hard run and immediatly shutting the rzr off. Started it up about 5 minutes later and it was at 227, since there was no fan on and no circulation. It shot down to 190 about 30 seconds after starting it though.

 

Could running too rich cause to run hot?

 

Mine normally runs 190-204. Friday we were at Hatfield&McCoy and got into some pretty deep mud and a very dusty ride. At the end of the day we hit some very long and steep fast hill climbs. Temp got up to 235 and the temp light came on. I stopped and let it idle and surely but slowly it came down. The RZR was working hard with about 550lbs of weight on it. Got home and sprayed out radiator and its all good. I am not sure but I always heard running lean would make an engine overheat and running rich would cause excessive heat in the headers.

Too rich or too lean can cause the engine to heat. What do the exhaust tips look like? Cocoa colored is perfect, ash grey is lean, black and sooty is too rich.
