ABQ, yours doesn't have a temperature gauge? My RS does... big fat numbers on the big dial to keep me well informed.

Bob, we're getting up early to head out for awhile tomorrow. Gonna take the cooling vests and an ice chest with water so we can soak them down when the temps get uncomfortable! My need to ride has outweighed my common sense... again...

What ever you do/all of you don't let the dealer connect you to the buds, there is a stupid cluster update that will also increase your engine running temperature TRUST ME ON THIS. BRP will not admit to this but this cluster update also includes a temp bar reading change that they claim only affect the amount of bars shown on the cluster but it has also caused the bike to run hotter, while in Magog QC last week a BRP person told me they are aware of this issue.

Are you sure that your bike is in fact running hotter? I've seen postings on other forums where bikes euqipped with actual water temperature gauges were showing the same readings; but the digital gauge was running higher...
