- Finally captured an overheat event on camera! Watch how the snowmobile notifies the rider with three levels of overheat warnings and learn how to cool it back down in only 10 seconds. • 600 EFI: does it Overh...

On hotter days or on hard packed snow I like to set my rear springs all the way down to 1 so the heat exchanger in the tunnel is closer to the track. Also use ice scratchers.
Good suggestions. I'm a fan of ice scratchers too: ruclips.net/video/Rs1hykh4pYU/видео.html
Good info. Just Pre ordered a 2024 expedition 600 efi
You’re going to love it! Next year, I’m planning a series of videos on adjusting the suspension. Make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss those!
I got a 900 ace skandic SWT I’m pretty excited.
I have a similar model I notice it runs fine while driving kinda fast I notice my sweet spot is 40-45 kmh keeps the temp at 45 I guess it cools it down but while towing wood at 25 it over heats can’t tow constantly I liked the older ones I could haul all day now I can only do a couple trips if it’s warm but they’ve all done something like that some are better then others next skidoo I’m buying I’m going back to the one I know can haul and is reliable roughly around 2010-15 all the newer ones I’ve worked with don’t last towing the older one I used every day towing for almost 3 winters with no problems
Since the 2021 recall, it really hasn't been a problem for me. Ice scratchers really helped a lot during that first season. I do occasionally get warnings if I'm filming, but that's because I'm stopped, idling a lot and driving very, very slowly (10kph.)
@@mop1471 I’m just figuring them out after looking into them I’m gonna get myself scratchers and wetter water whatever that is to me it feels like more work keeping an eye on the temp having to dip into snow here I was trying to be careful going slow staying on packed trail but here I was harming my sled and they don’t idle anymore I used to keep em running while hauling wood after dark now I’m in the dark in the bush I live where I couldnt take it in for recall I’m stuck with it here when people break there stuff that’s just it even my aunts and work ski doos brand new broken I’m glad I’m getting some money out of mine atleast I’ve seen people saying they had problems of the bat but had warranty people don’t know about them I’m feeling mine out the gas has to be close to full all the time to helps cool and I think water gets in there since they have to dip in snow when I open my gas cap it just pops up so it’s sucking
That's pretty sad to be overheating on a trail. Does the heat exchanger go all the way to the rear of the tunnel? Right at the rear curve of the track is where the most snow is thrown. I have a 2016 backcountry 600 etec that just fryed a ECM, why don't they know. so I figure dependability is gone now. Season will be over by the time we get an ECM. I was looking at a backcountry 600 EFI. Is overheating going to be an issue with that engine?
The heat exchanger extends pretty far back, but not right to the edge. Since the 2021 recall, overheating really hasn't been a problem at all. It'll happen if I'm moving at low speeds and stopping alot (which I sometimes do because I'm filming these videos!) Never overheats during regular riding.
I am 19 years old 6’2” I got a 2023 Expedition 600EFI I have 600km on it they make them a lot wider now this year my buddy has a 2021 same exact model mine compared to his is noticeable wider quite a big machine for myself at a young age and for a first machine but I love it for the ice fishing, hunting and riding I do also has a lot of power. I’d say it’s as wide as a Ace now.
While I like that my 2021 has narrow bodywork, like a Backcountry or Summit, the downside is that I can’t install the optional fan and radiator kit. If you wanted, you could get the fan/rad kit for additional cooling.
@@mop1471 Hey, Thanks for the info I think I will need it for late season fishing and hunting.
As a side note, my 2023 Tundra with the 600EFI now comes stock with a cooling fan behind the front radiator. I've only heard it turn on once, but then again lots of my riding is off trail.
Not sure if the fan is also present on the newest EXPs as well.
The 2021 Expedition 600 EFI doesn't have the front fan/rad and it cannot be installed. In 2021, the Expy 600 EFI got 'narrow' bodywork, like a Backcountry or Summit, which isn't compatible with the front fan kit.
In contrast, a 2021 Expy Sport 600 ACE (or 900 ACE) would use the wide bodywork and [I think] the fan and rad were included with the 4-strokes. Additionally, it's my understanding that for the 2022 model year and beyond, the Expy 600 EFI got wide body work and could have the fan and rad installed as a dealer option.
Aha, thank you for your insight!
Another excellently presented video from MoP!
I think the fan starts at 149f which I think it's too late, I would like to have it start at at least 130f
Have you asked the dealer if they can set it to a lower 'ON' temperature? I'm sure it's all computer controlled, I just don't know if Ski-Doo lets dealers adjust the set point.
Or you could add ice scratchers and solve the overheating problem real quick
It has ice scratchers, and they work well: ruclips.net/video/7PkPPeE5xvI/видео.html
