Title: 2001 sportsman with a 04' motor overheating?
Post by: snowmanzz13 on April 04, 2007, 02:31:09 AM
well, we finally got a 04 motor in our 700 sportsman, and well, it ran for a little while and started flashing that it was over heating and you can shut it off and let it sit and touch the motor and have it cool to the touch and try to fire it up and says it's over heating, any ideas? i can swear i read a post somewhere of the same issue but have no such luck on finding it

get an infrared thermometer for less than $50.00, you can point it at any part of your motor, CRAFTSMAN makes one that fit's in your pocket.

radiator clean of mud? Bad impellar? Remove the radiator cap when cool & see if the water blows out when you turn motor over, if not, impellar is bad. I had a radiator go bad from sitting on an older cr250r. It corroded up inside.
