OK, fixed overheating problem(s). Trying to re-fill cooling system on 2013 Sportsman 500.

The book says capacity is 2.7 quarts. I have done everything advised on this and other boards and can only get it to take about 1.8 quarts. Lift front end 30" to burp and run to operating temp (over and over), squeeze hoses, everything.

Both hoses get pretty warm, fan is blowing warm air from radiator, etc. In other words, she is acting like she’s supposed to act, but I’m thinking there must be an air lock somewhere.

Thermostat is fine, pump impeller looks good. I measured the coolant and it’s about a quart shy of taking enough fluid for the stated capacity.

Main concern is that she overheats when I’m way out there somewhere. Trying to avoid a long wait or a long walk.

Thoughts?
