My 2011 is hot, I was able to purchase a kit that kept some heat off my feet and did install insulation on the bottom of the seat which did help somewhat. I put heat shield under the hood up against the dashboard which improved. Polaris should be ashamed but their not. A whole bunch of money and they have no fix.
The heat shield did not come on my year model, it started the year after. I did order one though, after talking with a friend of mine, and installed it over the heat shield material.

How is your heat shield holding up? My 13’ 800 crew is doing the same thing.
Doing good, so far.
I'm having the same problem thanks for the video. Also having trouble with heat burning my feet when I have sandals on. Any ideas to fix that
I do not, but if I think of something or hear of anything I will pass it along.
@@mikeanders73 You need to seal the openings where the pedals come through. Do a search for the kit, not sure if they are still made.
Have you a link to where the heat shield material can be purchased

I believe this is what I used.

This is the factory heat shield they started installing on later models, and it is the one I used.
A heat shield light Piece of metal goes there
An I also use a light bent Aluminum material or metal an underneath the floor and put heat sheild material to help with the heat and it works
