All the big bores run warm, especially the big singles. I found a way to keep them running cool, but I don't know if I'd recommend it for everyone.

Yeah I know...I had one. Runs hot, but never really "overheated". That 600 is a pretty solid thumper. Biggest issue I had with mine is you simply could not keep rear brakes in the thing. They are cable actuated, poorly sealed drum units..........ugh. Also, if you plan to ride rugged terrain, invest in some good aluminum a-arm protection for the front end. I horseshoed two sets of a-arms on rocks. I have been through the same trails with every machine I have owned before, or since....from Banshees to Bayous. I never bent an a-arm on any machine I have owned other than that Grizzly.
I will say this though, that 600 loved to climb, and actually was a very very good jumper for a 635 pound machine.
