Changing out my coolant from an eth glycol, to Engine Ice a prop glycol and need to flush my system out fully before putting Ice in. Only problem is the ole ’11 Grizz 700’s radiator has a top tube and a ‘mid-ways’ tube, which isn’t conductive to draining at all. Best I can figure because the lowest tube is only in the middle, at best I’m only able to get half the radiator to drain. So instead of multiple fills and flushes what’s the best way to get my coolant system completely emptied of the old coolant?
Best guess right now would be to drain the whole system, disconnect both rad tubes at the rad, stick a compressed air nozzle down the top fill hole with a rag around it and blow it out.
So this past weekend we were gonna go for a ride, drove an hour and a half to nearest trail everybody got unloaded and we started on our way. I noticed that the radiator fan kicked on relatively quickly but just assumed radiator was a little plugged with mud from previous ride. Well I only made it about five miles at an average speed of around 35mph. We came to a road crossing and the guy in from of me took off a bit faster so I figured I’d jump up on him and then let off. I took off about 1/4 throttle and it shot up to 40mph but didn’t seem like it would pull any more so I gave it more and more throttle all the way to full and still nothing then it started to slow down, it dropped to about 25mph and then the rear tires locked up. I haven’t had the time or more importantly the money to try to look into it yet. This to me is a text book two stroke melt down however this is a four stroke so it confuses me. If the antifreeze truly got hot enough to allow the rings to melt shouldn’t the atv kicked me into a limp mode for over heating?

Does anyone know of a gear reduction for the 570 sportsman?
I’m aware that super Atv makes a portal lift that gives you 30%. I don’t want to go that wide, but I might if it’s my last option.
My back really aches when riding my 570 SP Sportsman. It’s the 2 up model and my wife does ride with me. Used to ride motorcycles and you could purchase fold down type driver back rests that mounted in various ways. Was wondering if there is anything out there specifically for the rider on a Polaris? My O’l back isn’t what it used to be.

About ready to purchase a set of Heat Demons for my 2015 Outlander, but stumbled across a ‘new’ part number listing in the 2017 accessories catalog. 715003250, $269.99. Anyone have more info? Google search yields nothing. Updated model maybe?
OK, a few years ago I added a snorkel and rad relocation kit, both factory BRP ones, machine is a 2013 outlander max 1000 xtp. All has been fine until recently when I was crossing trails and rode pavement for 13 miles, thats when I noticed just how loud the noise is coming up from the snorkel.
Anyone else notice this? anyone with a XMR notice it? if so was there a way to make it quieter, maybe turn the snorkel? im not looking for silence, but it was louder than the exhaust and tires.
