coolant reservoir?

[Mason]

hey guys i just traded for a banshee last night and i was checking it out today and i noticed that the coolant reservior/container had nothing in it and it was disconnected. i was wondering if there was any special reason why it was connected or if it was just the other guys idea to just diconnect it. i also was wondering if it would hurt the motor at all, i know there is coolant in the radiator but still, would it be best if i reconnected it and put coolant back in it ?(may be a stupid question, sorry)

The reservior is for overflow only. Most of the guys take theirs off. It is not a recovery system like a car or truck.

ok thanks for the info. i was wondering because on my 660 raptor the manual tells you to put some in the reservoir so i kinda thought of the same with the shee. i guess ill just take my reservoir of then. thanks

It is just like a car it will pull out of the overflow bottle, but in my opinion you dont need it. We ride in HOT AS HELL AZ and all the bikes in know dont run them.
