my sxr700 seems to heat up a little to much compaired to the other sleds im my group, all exchangers HOT and its ussaly on hard pack rail grade doing around 80 to 110 kmh for more than 45mins. i do have a rear exchanger but it still seems to have trouble keeping cool, any ideas?

Are you running scratchers? if not, you should, especially on really hard packed trails, they spray alot of snow on that rear exchanger and keep your hyfax lubricated. Also, like Joe stated, if your not running the SRX exchanger, it will make a difference being a larger exchanger. I would definitely start with some scratchers.

no i am not, its only in certain snow conditions on trails that are very strait for long running highspeeds, i dont have picks so i guess that doesn't help either. it does stop if i put snow on the running boards so that makes me think its not a cooling system flaw, the other sxr i own and other yamahs in my group dont get affected by it though just me
X2 on the scratchers. Worth every penny. I run the cable style and they throw crap everywhere. NO cooling issued for me. Sled has not been above 148 all season. I put in an sx rear exchanger this summer as well but it ends up pretty encased in ice after a long trip. Scratchers should cure your issues.

hmmm i did notice the ice build up around it. maybe ill try knocking it out next time. and see if that fixes it then grab scratchers at the end of the season for next year
Yours should not have ice build up. mind does because of how and where it is mounted. I didnt have room for the SRX exchanger so I put the smaller one in. Im going to double down on my comment. scratchers will help if not cure any heat issues...
Kirkswim's 02 viper would act like that even with the rEar cooler. What we used to do was clean the snow off of the rear cooler every time we stopped so it would not form an ice dam and heat up the sled. Also stopped the ice chunk from dropping onto the track and going up into the tunnel.
Used to get heck on the ty rides as one of us always had a hand under the viper at trail stops. Never got hot on the long pulls though.

JD...That is a sharp looking skid! Nice choice of color.
