One of the major reasons I bought this bike was to drive it in colder weather. I hope BRP addresses this soon.
Funny, I don't recall the temperature guages on the prototype/demos I rode back in the summer being significantly inaccurate like this so it must be a change they made to the production models like skimping on the quality of the sensor or changing it's placement or the airflow that feeds it.
