Exhaust hard on gloves?

[Friske Nytro]

Has anybody else had this problem? We have gotten alot of light fluffy snow in west central Wisconsin with lots of drifting the snow, making for some dandy snowdrifts to bust. Well after getting stuck a few times in these 6-7 foot drifts, when digging out and trying to lift the rear of the sled, the exhaust pipes line right up with your hands on the bumper! It melted one guys suit a little trying to help and it melted through both of my gloves and even burned my wrist a little. Maybe Yamaha needs to put "stacks" on the exhaust to keep me from doing that.

i did notice that they get very warm, i was digging myself out and almost burnt my wrists.....

the exaust works great if your hand get cold...instant hot. i have used the exaust heat a few times when my grips were not getting warm enough.

I have used the exhaust in VERY cold, snowy conditions when my heated shield broke, to defrost my visor. The hot exhaust was a life saver.

put my brand new leathers on the rear to warm up a little 30-45 seconds! and cooked a hole in the inside liner-melted! I'll never do that again!

Never a problem. I turn mine off, if I am working in back ! Its so easy with electric start !

Yeah had the issue with the gloves melting. Definately a way to warm your hands, but be carefull not to warm them for to long.
