I have my CR tunnel installed and was wondering what the proper method to bleed the cooling system is? Just start up the sled and run it to cycle the system while I add coolant? First four stroke and trying to avoid any self inflicted damage before I even ride it!

Thanks

Jack the front of the sled up as high as you can get it then add antifreeze. Lower it down start it then top it up. Thats how I do it.

Will it cycle based on a certain temp or is it rpm driven??

Its temperature based(thermostat). Jack it up. Fill. Let sit till no more bubles/or the coolant doesn't drop. Top up and ride.
Forgot. It's a rule here that you have to post pics of all aftermarket tunnels.:beer;

ya that method works good i have a new cr tunnel as well and thats what i did just jacked up the front and filleder up and let it run till thermostat opens then i shut it off and let it cool and it sucks up more coolant then repeat till you feel warm coolant all the way around to chain case side. i removed my radiator so jacked mine up a little higher my pressure bottle is down by the reservoir. oh one thing to check on your tunnel is the hoses on the cooler in the back one of mine is calapsed a little.
