I meant for you to remove the fan from the back and make sure nothing caked up in there that u cant clean no matter what you do. But if it works for you go for it. I don't get to ride my bikes but a few times a year, frustrating.

I removed them to keep the rad area clear. There is no real purpose to them, no shrouding affect, I posted another thread on this. Polaris actually deleted them for 2016.

I rarely ride mud, I actually drive around mud holes if they look too deep. Mudding is too expensive and too hard on the machine.

When I came home from my July trip, the machine was caked in dist from the drought, made rinsing the rad out so much easier.

Thanks.
