i've finally got my msrx running but now that i went to bleed the coolant i get nothing out of the bleeder port of the carb tube. everthing else is circulating and not overheating, anyone with an idea why.
I have the same issue.
which screw are you referring to? the one on the left side by the carb heat shut off located on the coolant rail for the heads?
i have noticed a tendancy for these not to bleed any coolant. there are easier ways to go about it. seems like the slightest bit of corrosion blocks the hole.

The one under the rail with the gasket.
the allen head one? or a 10mm headed one?
either way, theres better ways to bleed the system and the coolant will go to the carbs if the valve is on.
now i am going to have to tear into mine and see whats up. curious.

ya its the 10mm head bolt beside the shut off
The preferred method or the most successful one from what others have posted is to use the bleeder under the seat on the rear heat exchanger.Just raise the rear a bit,take the screw out and add coolant to the bottle until it comes out the screw hole and your done.I believe there's a write up in the tech section on this method too.

rear exchanger bleeding,always produces for me also. The air will get trapped at the back exchanger, just raise it up in a jackstand and warm it up and bleed it out, the thermostat housing has a small bypass built in to move the air from engine to rest of cooling system, if the rear is the highest point the air will go there and can be bled out.
