I have a 23 skidoo freeride turbo with a big wheel kit on it. My friend has a 23 skidoo freeride turbo without the big wheel kit. My sled runs 40° hotter then my friends.. My question is does the big wheel kit cause higher Temps on the trail ?

40 is a large difference. there’s technically a smaller amount track on the ground with larger diameter wheels but I don’t know how or if that would affect temps. How’d the sled run prior to the wheel kit?

The sled already had the kit when I picked it up. Once I'm off the trail the temp drops and runs at about the same temp as the other sled.

I would burp the sled make sure no air bubbles are in the coolant. Did the sled previously get really hot? Coolant have a darker color? Smell off? If all seems good try changing the coolant see if that helps.

if you’re running a flap and scratchers then I agree with Frank, you’ve got some other issue going on
