I guess you can't take a Polaris 800 out for a ride in the summer without it over heating. Wife and I were riding around some property today. Of course when we get as far away from the truck at the back corner of the property, the temp gauge comes on, engine starts skipping, and I smell coolant. I Shut the engine off immediately and lifted the hood and see coolant spewing out from the reservoir. I let it cool down for 30 minutes, drink a couple Bud Lights, poor some water in the radiator and we made it back to trailer.

This is the 2nd time it's happened and both times it was during a hot day after riding for approximately 45 minutes. Not pushing the engine. Just riding logging roads. I just had it serviced and they found nothing wrong with the radiator, water pump, ect. Getting kind of pissed now. Y'all got any suggestions?

I'll be waiting till after 6pm to ride this thing until it cools off around here.
