I have a 17 viper Stx 137. I was curious about the cooling. What should I be seeing as 'normal' on the temp gauge? It seems to creep up to about 3/5 of the the way. When I idled it for the 15 minute break in idle procedure, it was at about 3/4 with the fan running. Do I need to worry about letting this idle a bit in the trail? Is the cooling system/fan powerful enough to theoretically let it sit and idle all day long? I did a search and saw some folks know the actual numeric temperature they were running. I can't seem to fInd how to get that. Any advice would be great. I have already added scratchers for running it in less than ideal conditions.
Thanks in advance.

She will idle all day with the fan running. Nothing to worry about

Press and hold the bottom left button on the cluster and the numerical display will come up. I think holding the top left one will recall your last highest RPM. FYI

Good trail conditions should put you around 160-170 degrees F.
Fan will kick on at 195-200 degrees F
