The dealership burped my sled on the day of the pickup 12/17/02 and on the 18th I went out on my first & only ride on the F5 Snopro (I was breaking in my M/C 900) every thing was fine except for adding a little coolant to the reservoir (which I did) the engine was never hot and the running boards were not hot either - there was a lot of snow that day.
A few days later I was checking the track & suspension with the track off the floor, I was running the engine and I noticed that the inside hose was seeping.
So, I backed off the clamp & hose to check to see if they removed the rised seam (they did not) I removed the rised seam and repositioned the hose & clamp - problem there solved.
I have been burping the coolant system several times since then - following the Arctic Cat procedure.
A week or so in between starting the engine, I was checking the snowmobile over (the coolant reservoir is imposs. to see through most of the time) so I removed the cap and I heard air coming out ! This when the engine was cold and I burped the sled again, second run through I heard air rush out when I removed the cap (this time the engine was warm)
The right side running board never gets warm before the left side yet the instructions state that the right side running board should feel warm to touch when the cap is in the first position.
Is there a error in the instructions or am I doing some wrong ?
Any help would be great I don't want to toast the engine.
