Welcome to the forums.

I moved you post to a thread of its own. You should get better results with it. The resident experts OPT will probably see this soon and get you going in the right direction.

 

Seems they could have made bleeding easier on the 850 like they did on the 800's in the Rangers.They had a bleed screw on the thermostat housing which made bleeding a lot easier on these long hose runs the Rangers had. On yours still the best method is the old way.





Note: If the coolant level is LOW in the radiator, or if there are leaks in the system, the coolant system will not draw coolant from the resevoir tank

1. Park Machine on a flat surface. Remove radiator cap and top off coolant. Leave the cap off the radiator. Start and idle machine for 5-10 minutes until steam is visible in the radiator cap area.

2. Stop the engine and let cool for a few minutes or until a 'glug' is seen at the filler neck or there is a dropping of the coolant level, indicating that coolant has been pulled into the system.

Important Tips: Slowly squeezing the hose after the bend below the filler neck will aid in purging the system of air. Pump the hose using your hand several times. Elevating the rear of the ATV with a floor jack (rear tires 4-6" off the ground) also aids the purging of air from the system.

3. Always add coolant to the radiator first, filing to the top of the neck to replace air that has been purged from the system. Fill the resevoir only after you have completely filled the coolant system at the radiator filler neck.

4. Repeats steps 1 and 2 four or five times or until no more coolant is pulled into the system.

5. In some instances, Steps 1 and 2 may have to be performed with the radiator cap on to prevent coolant loss.

6. To test, install the radiator cap and idle machine until fan comes on. Make sure the fan comes on before the hot light.

 

I have a '12 and have never touched the coolant. Now you have me wondering when the coolant should be flushed?
How do you know your coolant needs "bleeding"? Are you overheating?

Hey, welcome to the forum bro.
