Bender, Thanks for the lead and kudoos to the club for the nice job on the trails and great ride. One other incident was when we were heading out, my quad overheated again. I'll have to start going down the to do list to fix that maybe begining with a rad cap then perhaps a thermostat, any other suggestions. Nice to meet some of the folks from down island, Marv, Oly, Bonita, Loyd and the fam, Andy and a couple others I can't remember their names...sorry. Hope the members of rollover club are doing ok.
Cheers

hey voyager i'll bet if you took your rad out of the quad take the shroud off you'd see the mud is baked right in the cooling fins soak your rad lieing flat inlets up that will help to soften the goo then blow it out with air or a water hose you may have to repeat this cleaning method because the goo realy get's baked in there . also make your fan switch works and cycles ,I have never had to replace a thermostat besides they are around $40.00 . that's the tip of the day The Quadfather .

Thanks Bender, I took the shroud off and there wasn't much there, really hosed off the rad and now can appreciate how caked in that stuff can get so I'm also going to try the coil cleaner idea (thanks Quadfather). Hopefully that will solve the problem...but on the other hand I'm half hoping it will be a "quick fix" mechanical or electrical issue then I wouln't need to spend so much more time cleaning in the future Idea

Cheers!
