Default changing coolant???

is there a way to get all my coolant out of the radiator and lines??

im going to try to test different kinds of coolant and aditives and figure out which ones cool the engine off the best.

I've been running engine ice coolant for over a year with a race modded engine without the electric fan for over a year now with no overheating problems.Later.

try a aditive called water wetter it works great you can adjust the amount you use but becarefull its has no antifreeze ability so you should have some coolant i have friends with banshees that ran hot mixed it 50/50 and cured the problem i run 4 or 5 cap fulls per qt of coolant hpoe this helps

I know nothing about Polaris, but does it have a drain plug on the pump itself?

You could also pull the hose off the pump, also I don't think you could get it all the coolet completely.

All i did is removed the hose to the water pump.Then i removed the radiator and drained it.I don't think you can get every last drop out of the motor.Hope this helps.

There is a drain on the bottom tank of the radiator, it will get most of it out.

And if you still plan to mix with water, flush it with a garden hose.
