Overheating SxS
« on: March 11, 2009, 07:04:35 AM »

Seems like there were a lot of SxS that overheated this past weekend. It is not even hot yet, so what is a good fix for when summer comes?

Lots of people use Engine Ice, etc, but that will not help with a clogged rad. you have to have air flowing through the fins............Hitting water/mud holes fast will clog the rad in no time as the mud hardens when it hits the hot rad..........it as much riding style as anything, if you play in the mud get one of those pumps and hope your near a creek

I try to avoid the mud whenever possible. I have never had an overheating problem but it seems like it is common with the Rhino. I actually have one jug of Engine Ice that I was going to use in my King Quad last year but never did. I may order another, flush the system and use that for the warmer summer months.

i run it year around, seems like 5 minutes and mine wants to run the fan regardless.

Need some way of directing outside air to the engine box to help disapitate the trapped air around the block.
