So what is the average temp when just tooling along?
I hear ya! The manual is severely lacking in that aspect.Wondered about this too. My rhino constantly got hot idling around so I been watching the general. Fan seems to cool well and i been running 205 (ish) down to 190. but I don't know where it is "too" hot for that motor. Looked in manual but it seems lacking in details.

Tools are not a problem.Most details. Like bolt sizes to change oil, diff oil etc (Allen head) was looking to grab some new Allen sockets and assumed it would be metric then I saw someone post 5/16 (I think) that info is usually in a manual..... So i guess I'm flush on metric Allen sockets.. My first Polaris experience. But when I drive it ... I have no complaints!!!

I've changed all three and that's what I used.From what i've seen 8mm & 6mm to perform oil, front diff, and tranny. 6mm does oil 8 mm does the rest. Info from polaris ranger general 1000 maintenance on you tube
I must provide an update. Saturday was approaching 90 degF in WV. The ride had a lot of mud and although my radiator was not "clogged" it had some small amount of dirt on it. Climbing a steep rocking hill in LOW range yielded me a temp of 221 deg F! I was very concerned as I had never seen it this hot. It cooled down when I could go to high and speed increased. No issues as a result of the temp, just concernedI usually ride monitoring the temp on the display and see the fan kick in around 204-205. Some RZRs had voltage reg problems. When voltage dropped the fan cut out and engine temp rose. I don't expect that with the General since it is not effected by the voltage reg recall, but if something happened to the fan or radiator, I would see it very soon and hopefully shutdown before damage.
