2 friends of mine have  04 500 sportsman HO, the display is flashing "HOT" "HOT" "HOT. I have cleaned the radiator to a shine, changed the fluid and the fan works. What can it be?

Thermal sensor?

thanks. it is covered in the recall ;)

hey my brute had the same problem if u remout your radatior on top of your bars it will fix the problem

Does it start flashing as soon as the bike starts? even if the motor is cool? If it does it a sensor,under the headlight,under the frt fender.I cant recall
