850 coolant

[mustard]

Weather has been 0 to 10 degrees and my sled has at all week. Went out to look at muffler and noticed my coolant res is empty. Is this normal?

On any other sled this is not normal and would indicate possible problems. Who knows what the BRP guys will say? It might be a special design feature to save weight or something. Just kidding, but I would assume it should have some coolant.

Hahaha open the cap nice and slow. Not sure what the problem is seems like it creates vacuum and wont let the coolant back into the reservoir

Just an FYI and may not be your case, but a guy I ride with has a '17 850 that kept showing it was overheating on very first ride. Took it into dealer up in Cooke City, MT where we were and their computer showed it was a bad/broken thermostat. Well they didn't have a new one so decided to just keep riding it and watch it. Later that day we decided to pull the hood off and check it out, turns out the thermostat wasn't fully plugged in. The plastic snap connector on top of motor was loosely plugged together and not making full contact. So snapped it together and never had another overheating warning. Again may not be your case, but if your dealers computer shows it as a bad thermostat, I would maybe check the connection.
