HELP!!! Engine Overheating PLEASE!!! Need help fast!
I don't believe anything is leaking or at least that i can see. It hasn't lost fluid out of the resivoir since I got it a year ago. Do you think it could be the pressure cap? Can you mix Polaris 60/40 with 50/50? I'm thinking the water pump is bad. Anyone else? Thanks everyone

I had coolant spewing this winter out of the over-flow bottle, turned out it was the pressure cap. I guess it weakens and drops the pressure in the whole system allowing it to boil over easy. I never had the temp light on with this problem though, but it was cold out too. Its a piece of mind fix though, and the dealer claims they go through a lot of these caps. Only problem is they want $40

I rode it for about three hours no prob. coolant is above MAX line now though. When i was done riding i let it cool for about 5 hours. Had to go get gas. I rode about half a mile there and back and my fan was already on! I checked the coolant under the pressure cap before i went riding and there was coolant in there. Why is the resivoir filling up? I never added any coolant and it started off between the min and max line when i first bought it. Thanks
