I just bought a the 05 sportsman 800 efi, it is the first polaris I have owned. It seems to run well but it also seems to get pretty warm. When riding you can feel quite a bit of heat coming out on the right side by your leg. It has never flashed any sort of overheating warning (which I am assuming it will if it overheats), so I am just wondering if anyone with a similar machine can let me know if this is normal for it to seem that warm or not?
I did spray out the radiator, check the coolant and made sure the fan was running. All seems to be running as it should.
