I had to replace a worn lower coolant hose so drained most of the coolant. Now that I have the new hose on there, is there anything special I need to do to fill up the coolant?
2001 RMK 800, is there a secret to filling with coolant?

I usually just fill with coolant till full then start and let run and open the bleed screw until coolant is steady top coolant off and take for a little ride and then check coolant after the engine cools
Great, thanks for the info. By the way, where is the bleed screw?

It is on top of the elbow that comes off the head should take a 8 mm wrench
Best way I have found to refill a coolant system regardless of sled is to fill system, start sled, while running tip sled up on right side(run rpm up to just below clutch engagement) for about a minute, then lay back down on to ski's, and repeat on left side, after putting back on ski's, recheck coolant level and top off, then repeat process, might take doing it 3-4 times but normally 2 times will get all trapped air out of the system....once sled cools off recheck level final time....
