After doing some work on my sled, I had to remove the rear heat exchanger. Now I seem to have a hard time with the coolant being bled. I opened the back screw, had a nice flow from there... then I lifted the back and open the screw on the water rail (that connect to the heads) and nothing ever came out. I ended up running the sled for abit and had it run till the thermostat opens ( from reading in the manual, if the heat exchangers start getting warm to the touch, its cause it opened, Right?) Then I opened up the screw on the water rail, and still nothing coming out. I even tried doing it while the sled is running... and still nothing.
After doubting the thermostat, and that fluid was getting to the heads, i took apart the thermostat housing and fluid started flowing out of it... Hmm Whats going on???
I read if i lift the front end about 3 feet, that works too.. Any one do this? Or even tip it on its side...?
Im getting ready to go for a couple hundred km ride on Friday/Saturday and want to make sure everything is set ....
