yes u pushed the mud in the rad u have to clean it now it is common for people to do this on bikes it happens alot here

 

thermosotat

so i was wonding can you run these without the thermostat in the summer months?

 

some will tell u u can some will say u cant its really up to the owner just think tho the thermostat is in there to keep the motor at the minimum operating temperature of the motor thats all it does i would keep it in i have never had a problem with them before but i u want u can remove it

 

Nah, I think i will get a new one, only 24.99 at Cheapcycleparts.com.. But hey thanks for the advice.. I love this michine

 

Pull the inner fender plastic off so you can get at the rad, and give it a good cleaning. Don't bend the fins with the pressure washer.

 

02 prairie still overheating

Ok to the front rack and plastic off and cleaned the raidator out (is was real muddy) Put it all back together and drove it around (pretty hard) for 30 minutes and the temp light starting flashing once again. Any ideas, thermostat? don't believe it has a air lock as to the best of my knowledge the system has noot been apart.
If i take the thermostat out and run it for awhile and it does not overheat then i need a new one right? (just a thought)

 

Did the fan start to run well before the temp light came on? If not, then the sensor may be bad.

 

U kow not for sure, hard to tell when your riding it....good thought i may try to check that out. jumper it and let it run all the time and see if it over heats...
