Not really. I did a few good pulls the other day, and the next day I went to start it in the a.m. and instead of idling up to 1800 RPMs she stayed down around 1200 RPMs. Ran it to the gas station then she went into limp mode at 212°. It's running 15°+/- warmer then normal.
I just rode it a month ago and then two days this week all at 172°. Now high 180's into low 190's.

using any coolant?

I would clean the plugs, re-gap, and reinstall. Fire it up and see it your issue continues. Of course you can just out new plugs and see if its OK as well.

Doesn't appear to be. I just wasn't sure if the thermostat got stuck or the water pump is on the verge of taking a dump. Idk....

The sleds running 15°+ warmer than normal. 172° is normal. Now high 180's low 190's. Something's not right. And I've been riding it since 2016/17 season.

I've ridden every year since new. Last year only 100miles. Typically 700miles a year.
