Hi, i left teh cap off of the Reservoir and I went on a trail ride there was some mud and dust, not to much but still, I am unsure if a ny got in and I washed the quad so I can't tell if there was mud in or on it. I did drain and flush the Reservoir ) there may have been a few specks but on much. Does teh coolant circulate though the Reservoir or is it just there asa over flow or if teh motor goes low? should I draint eh whole system? ( I just changed it not to long ago) IF so how should I do it to make sure I get it all out if there is even any in there( I don't think anything got in but aI am unsure). Thanks

 

I don't beleive it will cause any problems, at the most it may alter the cooling properties a minimal amount. You could go ahead and drain and replace all the coolant just to be safe though

 

You should be good....but you know the old saying "better safe than sorry".

The old what if factor. What if you got something big enough to screw up the impeller in there? Or big enough to cause a partial blockage and overheat?

Maybe drain it to a clean bucket, then use a paint strainer.

 

Coolant is cheap......drain it! You will kick yourself later if you don't and something goes wrong.
