XR7 Owners - How Hot Are You?

[blueroom]

Our XR7 550 runs right at 178-180 almost all the time.

What temps do you see?

Our XR7 550 runs right at 178-180 almost all the time. This seems a little warmer than others have posted from time to time.

What temps do you see?

I have had several 550’s and they have all ran at 178-180 no matter what time of the year. You are all good with that temperature.

We run between 177-180 all the time....seem like no matter how hard, or easy, we run it. I was worried this was too hot as well, but everyone I talk to says it is well within the engines capabilities.

Normal. Run it hard during the hottest summer months and shut it off quickly and you’ll see a temp spike (within 30-60 seconds of turning off) into 190-195.

when running it hard... it’s best to allow it to idle for a few mins and bleed that heat off prior to shutting off.
