Yamaha, Kawasaki, CanAm, and ATV Universal Radiator Relocation or Replacement kits:
When riding hard in deep mud and water, the radiator can get clogged and cause overheating. The common factors that appear to cause this problem are: 1. Riding in muddy water 2. Riding in extremely muddy conditions 3. Lack of proper cleaning of the machine after the ride 4. Riding on very hot days with reduced airflow 5. Heat related issues with fuel system 6. Lack of proper ventilation of the engine compartment.

The cause seems to be that the system in the ATV is not up to the extreme demands of operations in dirty water and deep mud. Yamaha engineers designed this model for what they considered to be normal riding. Further, the front and rear of the radiator cannot be accessed without significant disassembly. This discourages thorough cleaning. Without cleaning, the performance of the radiator rapidly deteriorates.

The Radiator:
The stock radiator is a conventional design. It has 18 louvered fins per inch. The louvers are slits in the fin to allow air pass through and rub against the metal to absorb heat. These fins take the heat from the tubes that carry the hot engine coolant solution through the system. The air then passes through the fins and dissipates the heat. The louvered fin allows additional air passage and more efficient cooling under normal conditions. As the fin count goes down, e.g. 14 fins per inch/12 fins per inch, the effiency of the radiator usually goes down. MORE SIGNIFICANTLY THE RADIATOR WAS DESIGNED TO CIRCULATE THE COOLANT THREE TIMES BEFORE IT LEAVES THE CORE AND RETURNS TO THE ENGINE. The stock system has a single flow rather than OUR TRIPLE FLOW.

The Fan:
The stock fan is rather light duty and can barely be heard when running. The stock fan draws 2.3 amps and was found to be satisfactory under normal use. The replacement fan is almost 3 times more powerful. It draws 6.1 amps and pulls air so strongly through the radiator that it expels debris that would otherwise remain in the fins. It is the most powerful fan we could use with existing components. The circuit breaker has been upgraded to insure that the fan sensor will function well. This combination creates superior airflow and greater cooling power.

Relocation to Rack Kit:
This is a universal relocation kit for the aftermarket radiator to be mounted on top of most racks. The kit includes 1- RADIATOR CAP, 1- UNIVERSAL RACK MOUNTING BRACKET, 1- ALUMINUM LOUVERED PROTECTIVE SHROUD, 2- ADAPTERS THAT ADAPTS 3/4" TO 1" HOSE, 1- HARDWARE PACKAGE THAT INCLUDES REQUIRED HOSE, HOSE CLAMPS, WIRE, WIRE CONNECTORS, ZIP TIES, BOLTS,NUTS AND WASHERS. ** The Gorilla Mfg Kit is designed to relocate the factory radiator to the rack and includes Hoses, clamps, wiring, mounts, and harware, but it does not include an aluminum fan shroud.
