coolant reservoir

[natedogg3]

Hello,

new to the nytro here!! former doo guy that is tired of endless issues. anyhow, was looking over my 09 nytro xtx and noticed that the coolant reservoir in the nose of the sled is empty. shouldnt this have some coolant in it?? the radiator is full however the res. appears empty. should i fill it??

thanks in advance!

yes add coolant. There should be a high and low mark.

I topped mine off with a little water wetter.

thanks for the responses. I thought it should have some coolant in it.

yea the coolant kindve disappears. i think it gets out from the cap if ur riding the real bumpy stuff. There is a level check behind the LH shock. Just check it every so often and ull be ok. topped mine off 2 times this year.

I replaced the stock overflow tube (attached to the reservoir cap) with a longer piece of clear plastic tube and made a vertical loop about 3"-4" dia above the reservoir. No more coolant loss in the rough stuff.
