P1000m5 2019 HP1K5 overheat issue

[toddvdh]

If it bubbled that’s a good sign. It was probably airlocked.

It was solid right away I would rule out air in the lines.

Hopefully between the radiator really clean and burping you will be good now

I’m hoping. My next longer ride is coming up over the NYE weekend.
Most of my local riding is short jaunts to random sugar sand pits, but we do have some abandoned phosphate mines that the jeepers used to climb. Unfortunately, it’s mostly washouts now. But it’s still fun to get a little 3 wheel action.

I met Justin back in 2017 after I bought my 1000-3. And have rode with him a few times, we hung out at the ‘23 TO and we just recently rode together about 3 weeks ago in Ocala National Forest when my overheat issue came up. We’ve got another ride in Ocala coming up for NYE at the Oklawaha KOA.

Oh no.
Like 4 time higher than that.
You did steeper stuff than that at the takeover.
Have to find a steep ditch, tractor, ramps.. something.

I was there with the blinky green light on the top. Justin and his wife are great people. We wound up riding with @Hondasxs and @Tramguage1 most of the time, the kids all got along famously, and it was nice having people who knew where they were going.

I love his color.

I love his color.

He is a Charcoal Lab. Not a Silver.
His father was a Black lab so his deep coat is black. Kind of a chameleon in certain light

I bled the system at the bleeder above the thermostat this afternoon. I was about ready to take the whole seat apart to get to it, but a quick call to @knuckledeep and he set me on an easier course. I popped some quick clips and lifted the plastic up behind the seat. After getting the buggy to operating temperature, I cracked open the bleeder and let it bubble till solid coolant came through, the manual stated to rev the engine a few times to ensure that the system is air free. Now to try it out. Luckily, it’s fairly easy to get to if needed again.View attachment 410261

I rode roughly 140 miles over the course of 4 days this past week in the Ocala National Forest. Even though most of the days were cooler, about 85% of the riding was done in High 4wd due to the sugar sand trails. The machine never got above 2 bars on the temp gauge. I’m guessing that between the radiator fins being cleaned out, and the increased airflow to the radiator it couldn’t overheat.

Thanks everyone for your input.
