I was wondering how to tell if my antifreeze was flowing, I used to have it made cause I had clear hoses but now I have solid ones,(clears blew to easy) Any input would be appriciated.

 

That's a good question...I just learned all about the cooling system of cars in my automotive class I'm taking...I would think you would know your coolant is flowing when your fan kicks on in a car but most quads don't have fans for the rad. Maybe you just know it's flowing when the engine gets hot that's all.

 

If you CAREFULLY remove the radiator cap while the engine is hot you should see the coolant flowing into the radiator from the hose at the top of the radiator where the cap is. It is subtle, but noticeable. Use a thick rag when SLOWLY loosening the radiator cap so hot coolant under pressure doesn't spray and burn you.

 

usually when the engine is running a warm radiator and all hoses warm is a good indication

 

Squeeze your radiator hoses, the top hose preferably, if it is stiff, it is pressurized.
