Help with 2008 Polaris sportsman 700 x2
 
I noticed a hose that was coming of the nipple on top of my coolant reservoir wasn't hooked to anything else. Is this normal or was it pulled accidentally from where it's supposed to go? It's about an 18-20 inch hose. Would love the help thanks!

Zip to it to the frame and let it terminate under the front panel. They just added this nipple and length of hose on the reservoir caps on the later models because the 700s and 800s had a habit of spitting out coolant ever now and then.This just gave it a place for coolant to travel up if it did and back down the hose to the bottle. Even the Sportsman 500 had this hose on the recovery bottle.

Thanks. I had a feeling that's all this was. I must of broke the zip tie that held it up when I was cleaning it I found it hanging to the ground. I'll just rezip it up. Thanks a ton.
