hello every one
i went on a ride this week end(was pretty good).all day saturday and just a little on sunday about 150 miles.very dusty-this was in tug hill n.y.
my problem(2002 400 4x4) the temp light came on a couple times then went off,then on again but when hitting bumps flashed on and off. the
next day after sitting all night checked radiator level added 1 beer can of water.we went on a ride(aprox. 20miles) and the light came on again-we stopped to check it out and it was overflowing out the drain tube. let it cool-and continued ride-light came on ashort while later then went off and was fine after that.
any help would be great-i'm stopping at the dealers on tues.

I had the same problem this weekend on 2001 500 manual. It is overheating if there is water coming out of the overflow tube. My fan quit working and I had to leave it at a friends house. I switched fuses and the fan worked once, but I could not get it to work again. Anybody else out there with a bad fan? Any Suggestions?

Hi Pie,
We had an overheating problem riding in WVa, it was really dry and dusty. We had the quad in water and some mud and then through all the dust. We had to wash out the radiator really well. It helped but later we found out that because it had overheated it cracked the water pump gasket, we bought a new gasket, replaced it and all has been well since. The water from the radiator was dripping out down by the foot boards. The gasket is located down there so if you notice a very slow leak down by the footboards that could be your problem.
