Default Sportsman owners! Antifreeze????????

Great idea. I have always smelled coolant when my 2001 Sportsman 500 gets hot. I have noticed that it comes out of the top of the overflow. It probably needs a larger overflow bottle, but they probably had space constraints to work with when designing.

The re-route is a great idea.

so did you notice your coolant level in your overflow bottle, if the coolant level was up during the fan being on! and coolant lowered when the fan goes off?? (gets hot and cools back down) thanks
