You have to let it really warm up so the thermostat opens up and mixes all the coolant throughout the entire engine. Once the fan comes on you know it’s reached the proper temperature and the coolant is well mixed, thanks for the great diy video

Exactly!! I was about to comment the same thing, he never let it warm up long enough for the water to circulate.

When you first pulled the drain plug I was like "Ohhh nooo! She's dry!" Then you pulled the cap and Niagara Falls baby. Nice video.

Thanks for the Vid. Helped me with my 2001. Unfortunately, i'm the opposite of OCD and it was the first coolant change on it.

I enjoyed all the fluid change vids,love all things mechanical.Hope the D2S family had a happy and enjoyable Thanksgiving :)

Andrew Esposito thanks Andrew..I hope you had a wonderful thanksgiving as well!

I have one just like it. N you where very help full. In this video. I did it on my own

Merci beaucoup 👍🏼 perfectionniste, good teacher ✌🏼

That's in mint condition for a 2004 good job keeping it that clean

Is there a way to easily tell if the coolant is actually making it to the engine? My temperature gauge does not work

How did you get the reservoir hose off. I can’t get it and the overflow tank is way over full line and I can’t drain it

I have one too 2009 Kodiak 450 muffler super loud like a Harley Davidson every time I started up and won’t idle good….would I have to take carb out and giver a clean? I did the spark plug oil change filter and both diff oil change now I watched this video gonna do a coolant flush but back to the muffler she’s solid right to the engine

Can you make the kodiak 400 videos into a playlist?

Can they not run traditional green anti freeze?

Did you have the bleed any air out of the system? Thanks I just changed my coolant with Engine ice and it has gotten hot on my a couple times since. The only thing I didn't do was bleed or burp the system.

Did you purchase this new? I have a 2006 I purchased new with very low hours. This machine runs like it’s brand new. I really like your videos on how to as it shows how truly easy the process is.

Is it the same on a 05

Your the kind of guy I want to buy a used Quad from. OCD like that one

Did you bleed it

Does it make a difference if you flush the system with a garden hose or not? Is it better? Thanks!

Vintage Arctic Cat Rider It depends on if you have a bunch of debris/corrosion or hard water scale. I once didn’t do it on a car and it plugged up the heater core until it was pressure flushed.

That bikes never touched a puddle, exhaust is spotless.

Cameron Vajda I replaced it and painted the new one.

So did you run it until the thermostat kicked on the fan?
