[fldodge]

had my 06 apex rtx for a first run today with an 08 apex ltx gt and both sleds started showing this yellow temp. light off and on all day is this an apex thing or what they both seemed to work sweet other then this yellow light the manual says to stop and shut it off till cool but neither seemed to show any signs of actually being hot ,anyone eles run into this i was a ski-doo man this is my first yamaha and other than this temp. light i`am loving it.thanks fo now.

it,s warm out, and lack of snow dust will have it running on the hot side.

 

[APEX 06]

My could run with out the hood on, that's what I have to do some times when we are out west in late april. I have add some vents to the side panel and rear cooler.

light

The answer is simple install a set of ice scratchers...I was out with my apex this week...the temp was 8*C ...We ran about 55KMS all different speeds slow and fast...Temp light never came on...Buy a set of $60.00 ice scratchers bolt them on and use them...They do work....My hyfax wear is nearly zero in 300kms and I am using a set of Kimpex hyfax...about as cheap as you can get.........

 

[Super Sled]

I run scratchers too. They work. I use the slide kicks cable style ones. I've run them since the sled had 300 some miles on it, when I bought it. I changed out my hyfax at 2200 miles and they had lots of meat left -- I had changed them out prematurely.

put in a rear cooler that fix's the problem my 08 LTX GT 40th did not have one since i put one in no issues.

anyone know the price of a rear cooler and if it will fit an 06 rtx all right with out any major mods.

You need to check your antifreeze mixture most sled are staight antifreeze. suck some out and then add some distilled water. need the mixture set to about -35

temp lite

I have an 06 RTX and was getting temp lite same as you...that's been couple years back and added rear exchanger($79 at that time), no lite since.....

I'd say it's time to add fuel. Yellow light is low fuel. Red light is hot temps.

No, you'll will get a yellow warning for several different issues. You need to look at the icon thats showing along with the light. Low fuel will show a gas pump. Hot engine will show a thermometer.

the red light is the cold temp liight

 

[chiefsledhead]

The red light tells you that you have a critical issue and you need to shut off the engine. The yellow light tells you that you have an issue that needs attention, but you can still ride. Whenever either light comes on, you need to look at the icons to tell you what issue the sled is alerting you to.
You can get a red or yellow light for any of the icons.

so was that a yamaha piece a part no. would be reel nice or could you tell me what model machine it came off of ,was it much of a job to install or pretty straight forward.
