Re: Extreme exhaust heat

I have the 08 polaris razor and I find that the exhaust manifold gets too hot.  If riding in wooded or grassy areas the debris collects on the exhaust manifold and pipe and smolders and starts on fire.  I am very concerned about this situation and polaris won't acknowledge there is a problem.   To test this I let the unit IDLE for 5 minutes and used an infrared thermometer to measure the temperature and I got 450 Degree's Celsius or 840 degree's Fahrenheit!  And that is idle for 5 minutes not riding hard!  I enjoy the area I ride in and don't want to be the cause of a major fire.  Has anyone else noticed the extreme heat issue with their units? :!:

Sounds like you may have a fuel/air problem. I know mine runs a little warm but no where near that hot. Did you try talking to the dealer or did you mean you talked to the dealer by saying you talked to "Polaris"? I do believe that at idle that fuel mapping is lean but it should improve at speed. What are the temps like where you ride?


If it's not fun why do it?
