Went on first extended run yesterday on the 2023 800 Trail.  THe temperature indicator has blocks that display as the unit warms up.  THere were several times that it was at the 2nd highest temperature position.  Never went to the top but bounced back between the 3rd and 2nd from the top,   Should I be concerned?

I would concern me. Normal is between 2 and 3 from cold with the occasional or momentary 4. Any more indicates a problem and possible damage. It could be a bad sensor or gauge but don't take the chance...heat kills engines..especially Chinese engines.

I have a 2023 UForce 600 with 4 hrs on it.  My temperature indicator behaves the same.  I haven't had a chance to talk to dealer about it.  When I backed into garage today, the fan kicked on and I watched the temperature indicator.  As soon as that 2nd highest bar went out, the fan kicked off.

Maybe that's the new norm...

I have the 23 800 Trail. It does the same buy just driving 1/2 mile. My first real ride I would stop and let it rest. 2nd time I said screw it. It never went to the top
