heating
Buy scratchers! they work!!! I was out Sunday..Low snow, ice,...I was following my wife most of the day...She is new at the sport and does about 35-40 kph..Not once did my sled show any sign of getting hot...

Do a search, a lot of good info on overheating. The first thing you will be told is check your antifreeze. It usually comes from the factory full strength, so reduce it with distilled water. If that checks out, then scratchers etc. should help but if you don't mind dropping a few bucks, that rear heat exchanger keeps mine running from between 165 and 180F. You should add where you are from, so I know whether to talk in metric or standard. Heat exchanger is a fairly easy install, keeps ice out of tunnel also. Ulmer Racing has a popular digital temp guage, check their site, comes with full instructions. A little more work to install, but nice to have piece of mind knowing exactly what's going on with the engine.
Apex heating issue
Thx guys this really helps. I'm from mother new Brunswick usually we have all kinds of snow this year and last we have the minimum I do all my own work myself so it shouldn't be a big job to put the cooler on. Ordered it today figured I'm a big guy so it's the best thing to do. Thx again.

I had same issue wiyh my 07 attack, put rear heat exchanger on,made sure coolant was 50/50 and have never had problem again. Installing scratchers is'nt a bad idea either because it will at least help lube the slides.

start with the cheap way..scratchers..my wife rides her attak slow..and with scratchers it never over heats..before scratchers...it would over heat more than 70 percent of the time.long tracks need scratchers..more surface heat..need more snow..
my slide never stuck yet not even a little. I run my track loose but the dam light still comes on and weird as it sounds only after dark. But the new rad should help that. I was also wondering if and how to check the fan out maybe its not working. I never heard it running.

Not weird that light comes on only after dark. It is probably because sun goes down , you get radiation cooling and what was a nice soft snow now gets a hard crust to it. You loose lub and cooling , next thing you know light comes on. Ice scratchers would definitely eliminate that problem.
