Default 2004 Polaris Sportsman 600 overheating

Hello,
After replacing the heat sensor on the engine, thermal sensor on the radiator and testing the rad fan I'm still having overheating issues. I'm also not getting the HOT indicator on the dash. After engine warms up the coolant starts coming out of the reservoir and the fan doesn't come on. I replaced the thermostat when I rebuilt the engine last year. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you

Default Problem fixed

Update
I raised the front end up much higher and purged the system again. Raised the front end until the tires were a foot off the ground. Still had air coming out for at least 20 minutes. The fan kicked on this time! No coolant came out of the reservoir. The engine didn't overheat. Let the last of the bubbles come out and topped it off. Such a relief to have ot working right. Appreciate everyone helping. Glad ot was just air and nothing major. Happy guy right here.

Simple fixes are always nice.
Probably had an airlock in the system somewhere.
