anybody have an easy way of cleaning the radiator on an 04 Rincon? I use a pressure waser right now but its kinda hard to get behind it to get rid of the mud

Pull out the front screen and remove the push rivets out of the side shields and remove the shields from the radiator. Using a pressure washer on the radiator isn't the best idea, it is real easy to fold the fins of the rad over using high pressure. I just use the garden hose. It takes some time but I have yet to fold any fins over. The dirt especially likes to get caught between the oil cooler and the radiator. Ther are a few people who have modified the oil cooler mount so the cooler and the radiator have some air between them (I am not one who has done this mod, yet).

I dont use full power on the radiator I am just looking for an easier way of getting behind it What do you mean the modify the oil cooler mount just move it out of the way? or is the a different mount for it?

There has been some discussion as to how to move the oil cooler away from the radiator on the Rincon owners forum.

After you remove the side shields from the radiator it is somewhat more accessible, it would still be pretty tough to get the wand of a pressure washer behind the radiator though.
