Any idea what caused it? Did the fan kick on and off normally?

That's bad news! Are you bringing it back to the dealer to have it looked at?

My dealer is 1000 miles away in Kansas City, the nearest one here is Grand Junction. Going to try the burp today and see if that works!

What I read on the forum there is a bleeder screw on the top of the engine. It's marked a different color. Maybe on thermostat housing?

Might be the thermostat not working correctly. Did it show hot on the gauge?

Day 2, hit the trails after filling up the radiator and burping the coolant. No overhearing! Smoother than any machine I have had on these rocky trails. All went well until I checked the oil and took 3 hours to reinstall the damn dipstick. Why the hell does that have to be so hard to not crossthread? 48 miles on the machine. Installed the cooler, spare tire, rotopax rack tonight. Rotopax late shipped so next week. Awesome! Pics tommorrow ;)

You are working the bugs out, nicely!
Glad to hear the burping worked!!!
I've got 75 miles on mine (P1k5 Deluxe). You better get to riding!

Also, keep up the good work with the pictures. You've got us all wanting to hear how awesome the ride is...

When do I get my next trophy to set on the mantle next to my first one, HA!

You should add this Day 2 pic to the IG post. It's a good shot. Multiple pics mean swipe left.

My brother is relocating to Utah for the summer and taking his P1000-5. He wants me to come out and go wheeling with him but I'm working hard on my debt payoff plan. I might have to reconsider. Anyone else up for Moab this summer?
