I also heard that fan cooled sleds cant run in warm weather.... whats considered warm weather? Is 40 degrees to warm for a fan cooled sled?

you might beable to buy a couple jets for it and rejet it for the temperature. but might have to wait till after xmas for that.. should be a chart on somewhere under the hood

F/C's will not have a problem at higher temps.....they will run somewhat richer, but won't damage the engine. My lawn mower, weed whacker, leaf blower, etc. are all fan cooled & they run fine at 90*....so what's the issue??

Don't people run fan cooled for grass drags in the summer? Warm weather won't be a problem, slush and thin ice will probably cause more heartache.

Yea, 40 is just the high, so for most of the day it should be like 35, theres lots of snow so im not worried about that, I will just do most of my riding saturday night when its 20 degrees. Thanks for all your help guys!
