You can take all the "shootouts" and put them in one bucket and you won't have beans.

Mud in the radiator is universal to most quads. The guys that run mud a lot just do a simple relocate to the front rack. Pretty easy to do. You want to check and make sure your radiator does not have swollen fins. You don't say what year yours is, but early models had a problem with the cooling ducts in the radiator swelling and closing down the air flow.

the CanAm motors are hot running motors, just the way they are, you can put an aftermarket radiator in there which can cool it down up to 20% cooler, and run engine ice to help as well
