Air Conditioning x1100c cycles off and on

Cool Thanks Mork (possibly from Ork) and Thanks for all you guys input,. Sound like I best leave well enough alone..
Will see how she does when Texas hits 99 deg this summer. I will check pressures again when it heats up to make sure Ive not over charged it . I think when it heats up that pressure may read higher. If it aint broke dont fix it right ..

Both of our x1100c’s cycle like Mork said. I figured it was normal because it always blows cold when I need it. Used it last year at 105 outside and it was pleasant inside.
That is normal operation. If the air temp is fine, don't worry about it. The cycle time will vary depending on air temp and will act differently if you're operating the A/C on fresh air or recirc mode. The thermister resistance signals the control panel to control the compressor clutch relay. The cycle will be longer if you're pulling in outside air; it'll be shorter if you're recirculating the inside air. Be sure to keep the air filter clean, blow out the condenser from the backside, and if you're in a dusty environment, once/ year it doesn't hurt to remove the dash and clean the evaporator with coil cleaner and rinse with water.

Finally got some warm weather here. Got up to 30*C at the high point today. So was the first time I had the AC on in my 1100.
The compressor and fan cycled on and off constantly also. But it got nice and cold. Cycles less when driving and it's getting air flow through the rad.
You can sure feel it when it cycles on while driving. Draws a lot of engine power. But I still managed to run 25/26 MPH down my road. Just on the hills it draws the engine down, but on my steepest hill I run it still maintained 7 MPH, same as with the AC off.

Hi not sure if you got it fixed but I had same problem with the compressor cycling couldn’t figure it out wasn’t low on Freon figured that’s the way it was…I took the top of the blower housing apart and couldnt believe how packed the condenser was and also around the metal probe that sticks into condenser goes to a thermostat type thing which tells ac clutch to kick on or off…..cleaned it all up and now ac compressor stays on and is very cold…this is on a 2010 rtv 1100 not sure if yours is the same or not…hope it might help you out…also previous owner got rid of the cabin filter and so mice got in there what a mess lol…
I was pretty sure that cycling wasn't normal operation. I hope others can check for this and avoid some expensive repairs down the road. While I don't have AC, I check my prefilter screens every few weeks. Sometimes they are packed.
