hey guys, new member to the forum but I've been stealing info off your forum for a while now :thumbsmilie: about a month ago I bought a 06 outlander that needed work as it had been ride hard and not taken care of. to make it worse the guy before the guy I bought it (I'm the third owner) used the dealer to service the atv. now that's normally a good thing this dealer left the wear ring off the rear fixed joint witch let water in the rear diff and he left the washer off the pinion nut when he put it back together witch made the u joint break and smash the fuel pump.
SO back on topic I'm having trouble with the bike over heating. the light only came on once but every time I ride it feels really hot and when you shut it off you can here the antifreeze boiling and making a humming noise.i know the the fins being clogged on the radiator usually cause this but there is no mud in there and I can see threw the fins. I've riden mostly air cooled carburated honda my whole life so working on this is a little different to me and any help would be great!
forgot to add when I bought it it was very low on anti freeze so I filled it after about two rides it was low again so I filled it this time using the bleeder on both heads seems to be holding now
