Heat light has been flashing this year and I thought it was the sensor. Light would flash 8 times and looked at the website and suggested it was the sensor. Replaced the sensor and light still flashes 8 times. I have no overheating issues when riding. Followed the wirelead back about 8 inches and all looks good. What else do I look for? Plug looks good. I didn't have a tester when I replaced the sensor but if I had what would I look for?

Thanks
 

is your sled flashing the triangle warning light along with the fuel icon or just the temp icon?

the 8 flash code is usually associated with the fuel level sensor or wiring to it.

if your seeing the temp icon, check the wiring at the plug on the head.
 
i had the same issue..took the plug apart and found the wire broke off the pin...fixed that and next trip the light started flashing again..took plug off and realized when i put in on one of the pins wasnt aligned right..just something to look at..
