Sure sounds like trapped air to me. Get the front end as high in the air as you can and recheck for air.

 

I have bled threw bleeder on the head and put the front end up about 2 feet ran for about a hour it is circulating fine . drove for about 3 hours doesn't over heat so you think still air

 

Have you ever replaced the relay? It's under the UTV and my 2011 was just a block of rust causing my fan to cycles on late or not at all. I relocated it and no longer have any cooling issues.

 

Yes I have . And I also just unhooked it and hooked up directly with no change . If I'm riding along the fan cycles fine comes on at 205 and goes back down to 194 but it goes to 206 for a little while before dropping . And when I first stop the fan will come on at 205 but the temp keeps creeping to 208 210 before coming down to 194 . It always came on at 204 and would never go past that at all and would drop to 188 I'm lost

 

mine does the same exact thing! use to cut on @204 and cut off@194ish. i've tryed everything.

 

Did your yous just start doing out of the blue .? And what have you tried to fix it ?

 

The 2011 seems to run to 204 degrees then down to 184 ,this seems normal no air in the system can anyone confirm that this is normal operation

 

That's what mine always ran at never ever would go past 204 fan would come on and drop to mid 180s that the normal

 

My 2011 800s has always gone to 204-206, fan comes on line, and the temp goes down to around 190. It sometimes goes to 210 before the fan can catch up and start a downward run but that happens only in hot ambient temps when the machine is being run hard.

That's what mine is doing now thought it was odd were it never did that before but now I am getting less concerned . But I don't run mine hard it does that just putting through trails

 

I went on another ride yesterday and my 2012 S LE runs between 194 and 206. When it hits 206, the fan kicks on and it goes down to 194 as I'm riding along.

 

Mine will kick on at 204 but keeps climbing to 208 210 before dropping back down to 194

 

i have this weird thing happening to. cruising and normal driving, regardless of whether I'm in high range or low, are fine. when I'm cruising in high and then come to a stop, the temp spikes up until i start moving again again regardless of whether or not i take off in high or low. on long rides, after i stop to get out for a minute, I've noticed when i turn the buggy back on that my gauge reads much higher. up to around 215 and as soon as i start the buggy back up it drops right back down to 190's. its very weird and not consistent. I kind of wish the cooling systems were better.

 

I never worry about the engine temp as long as it's between 180-220° this is the operating range of a pressurized cooling system most thermostats do not open until 190° releasing the coolant to circulate thru the radiator
Water boils at 212° pressurized water boils at 220-230° depending on the system pressure (radiator cap psi)
One or two degrees various isn't a concern as long as the fan comes on and cools it down to thermostat dregees
PS: you don't want your coolant boiling in the engine that's the reason for pressurizing the system to raise the boiling point
