Default Bleeding Coolant in SPortsman

What is the proper procedure for bleeding the coolant in a sportsman? I had to take the radiator off of a sportsman to get repaired, and now Im putting it back on. How do I make sure it is burped properly? Just keep feeding it in as the level goes down as the wheeler is idleing?

Thats the most common way. Fill up radiator, leave cap off and let it idle. You will see when the thermostat opens and the level will shoot down.

A little tip on bleeding your coolant system and this comes from my tech who is an expert when it comes to polaris atvs. Raise the front end off the ground a considerable bit and bleed it that way. He said that makes it much easier to get the air bubbles out of it.
