Moving to the high arctic need advice

[Pbadgley]

Hey gang Winter and the snow is returning and I cant wait to squeeze the trigger on the Warrior again. I'm moving above the arctic circle after Christmas and average high temps are bellow -25c or -13f. on the rare occasion that I tried to start my sled when bellow those temps is was real hard to start. Is there a heater I can install so I can plug my sled in a few hours before deciding to hit the snow when its really cold out like bellow -30?

Yes. Not sure of the brand. But I have seen many yamahas ridden by Quebecers that plug them in. I have used a trickle charger at temps down to -25 F and it worked well with fully synthetic oil.

Yamaha sells an inline coolant heater. Works real good.

cold starting

A 100 watt incandescent light bulb under the hood resting on the head works great. If you cover the hood vents even better. Only problem is that the quality of these bulbs has gone down the tubes and they tend to burn out before their time. You could use two though.
