I don't know about the rest of you but that damn thumb heater on the G4 Summits gets way too hot for my liking so I did some exploring with the gauge and saw that it has a setting for the thumb warmer so I turned it all the way down and that made a huge difference, has anyone else done this to their sled? Also, I need an owners manual for my sled as my preowned 2021 didn't have one and the previous owner isn't being to helpful with the one that came with this sled, can i get one without having to buy one?

If you have a 2021 that can be adjusted in the new gauge. Older sleds its a trip to the dealer.

Not Sure
Curious to know what the dealer can do with it.

They can change the percentage going to thumb warmer or handgrips is my understanding. It is really dumb that it isn't user adjustable for your preference. Everyone has friendly doo dealer next door.

Almost as useless as the gauge itself. You get a lot for 20K and up

I thought I was crazy to think my cold thumb wasn't as warm as my burning hands.... I need to get that changed.

How are you guys attaching your grips to the bars so they don't slide off? I put a set of the RSI 7" rubber grips on and they are slowly sliding off the bars and I have to keep pushing them back on. Might have to go back to the Doo stock grips.

Did you use hairspray to put them on? It helps when sliding them on, then sets up and works as an adhesion.

I did but it's not holding like it has in the past. I picked up a set of the Doo Deep Snow Grips and will be putting them on later today using the air pressure method.

The hairspray was much higher quality the last time SnoFlake used it..... He probably had some real Twisted Sister spray left over lol
