- 2014 Viper LTX SE / MCX190
Could really use some help here - yes i have asked this before but thread died. I baby this sled and don't ride it as hard as it should be ridden but i just want it running flawlessly.
2014 Yamaha Viper LTX-SE
MCX190 Turbo kit
Backcountry 1.75 track
Overheating issues
- Machine went into limp mode a few times last season, temperatures varied but mostly in milder conditions and in deep snow (which i never venture in)
- Tested for head gasket and no exhaust gases were identified in the coolant system
- Burped the coolant system
- Ice Scratchers are down
Should I....
- Look at the water pump and see if its failing?
- Change the temperature sensor?
- Vacuum flush the coolant and replace with Engine Ice or equivalent?
- Turbo intake is under the hood, sucking in warm/hot engine air, could this be a contributing factor?
- Should i go back to the 1.25 track?
I'm running out of ideas and fixes. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
