Thermostat Replacement
I have a 2014 HD Ultra Limited. I ran over a dog earlier today - luckily I stayed upright but the impact bust the thermostat. I've replaced it and refilled the reservoir but the temperature light still comes on and the coolant level hasn't gone down. Was I supposed to prime the thermostat or something else I may have forgotten?? Thanks. 😀

rw check your in box I sent you a service manual if you don't have one.
Getting the air out can be a pain. If you turn the ignition to on,(don't start the bike) and roll the throttle half way the pump and fans will come on.

Here's how just in case:
Fill system through filler neck until coolant is visible. Allow
coolant to bleed down for a few seconds and repeat.
Turn Ignition switch ON. Do not start engine.
Turn throttle to greater than 50 percent and hold for at least 3 seconds.
Coolant pump and fans will start.
Release throttle.
As the pump runs, continue to add coolant until filler neck remains topped off.
NOTE
Unlike operational mode, the pump and fans continue to run in bleed mode until ignition is turned off.
