Did I overheat?

[PINandPRAY]

I just picked up my pro this morning, when i started it i let the sled idle for about 4 mins and then i went to the end of the block and back. The temp on the dash said 129 degrees. I shut the machine off rite away. Did i do any damage? Thanks for your help

129 deg F or 129 deg C? It's probably deg F, in which case that is normal operating temp. When you start seeing north of 160 degF you should start looking for loose snow, and 180 degF is time to start worrying. IMO.

^ or put your scratchers down.

Not sure about Polaris, but Doo's go into limp mode and won't run hard so it cools down...... Polaris should do this as well so untill you feel that.... no worries....its kinda like hittin 160 kmh in a vehicle on the speedo and the engine just shuts down.....

That's totally normal temps, my pro runs constant at 120-150f. At 190 the light comes on, and at 200 it does goes into limp mode.

Mine Pro Rmk runs at 125 F. I never like to get it over 140F.
Is always warmed up to 100f before it is moved and take it slow for first mile or so till i see 125.

My Swback Assult runs at 127 all day long and i do the same as above for it.

Hope this helps

Mine , went straight up to 185 on the very first ride , didnt take long I put down the scratchers !!!!

Put down your scratchers if you are running on any sort hard surface, this is not optional. The pro will heat up very quickly when running on a hard surface.

it will go into limp mode, but on hard pack definitly put down scratchers.
