I took my new P1000 to deer camp this year. One afternoon we took it on about a 30 minute ride around part of the farm. I came out about an hour later to load some equipment for the next morning and noticed a dip in the hood over the radiator cap, apparently the heat caused the plastic to sag. Has anyone else noticed this?

One of the first things I did after buying my rig was to set the dash so the temperature gauge is displayed and have never seen more than two bars displayed at any time. The radiator is clean and it's full of coolant so I don't think it's overheated.

Thanks.

I've never seen that happen on mine. Maybe you just have some bad plastic and a new hood would fix that problem. If it isn't overheating I can't see what would cause that to happen.

First time I've heard of this too. Mine stays on 2 bars also. Never been any higher.
