Have you cleaned out the air box and bled the cooling system?

Exactly, you need to bleed the air from the cooling system. Easy way is to park the rzr in an incline facing upward, start the engine and fill the overflow tank with water. it should drop as the rzr warm up and then heat up.

keep filling the overflow tank until it doesn't go down no more. it should restore the system and expel the air, sometimes this is not enough and then you need to bleed it using the air bleeding screw.

 

Thanks for the reply’s everyone! I have cleaned the air box out but have not bleed the coolant system. I have lifted the front end and opened the coolant but it won’t go down at all and the coolant is almost all the way full. I do not know where to find the bleed screw. Does anybody know where it’s at on the 17 xpt? Or does anyone know of a video link to show me where it’s at. Again thanks for the help I can’t wait to get it working right again!

 

Under the turbo in between the exhaust outlets on the head, 8mm bolt head.
It's a bitch, but #1 cause of overheating.
It MUST !!! be bleed, a few times.
Remove the alum. heat shield, use a mirror, from the back.
Or you might be able to get to it from in between the seat through the access door, but it takes small hands with good gloves on.
Must be up to temp, raise front wheels off ground a foot or more. you can do it with engine off, you will here air come out of head.

 

Ok I’m still not having any luck. I have bleed the coolant a total of nine times over three days. I would bleed ride around a little and bleed again. When I try with the engine heated up it would keep forcing air until it’s only liquid then I tighten and ride it around a little bit it still gets hot. So I kept bleeding and bleeding. Then next day I tried it twice with engine cool and it pushed a little air before only liquid. Still would over heat. I then tried it hot again and it had a bunch of hot air come out until it was only liquid but still it keeps over heating. Do you guys think it might be letting air in somewhere? I’ve checked all the tubes I can see without taking off the skid plate and they all look fine no leaks. I’m thinking about just taking it in and hopping the warranty will cover it lol.

 

How high are you getting your front end off the ground when you are bleeding it? I have a place near my home where I go to bleed mine, I get the front tires about 30" off the ground and it purges the air pretty quick. Did you have the overheating prior to the rollover?

 

Get an Airlift vacuum system. It will vacuum the air out. If it will not hold a vacuum you have a leak. I have to use this often on cars with complex cooling systems. Pretty much the best way to purge the air out.

 

Yes I use a vac system also, works great.
Are you refilling the Radiator or the tank after releasing air and water?
Make sure radiator is full.
Sounds like maybe a leaky head gasket to keep putting pressure in the system.
Also there a little relay tool to turn your electric water pump on and keep it on, so you can test the Intercooler pump & system.
If the tiniest air bubble is in the electric pump it won't move water & just cavitate.

 

Id have a good look at the rad also. Make sure there is no damage and nothing is kinked.

 

Today I had the same problem, I overturned after that my liquid collant don’t go anywhere, I try 3 times and my temperature went to 239• , anyone could answer me if hit this temperature my engine could burned the gasket ?

 

also make sure your radiator fins arent plugged up with sand and has free flow air. seen it happen with dirt and mudd
