There are several good reasons to install a Radiator Relocation System (RRS) especially if you intend to ride the deeper mud holes. By deep I mean top of the wheel. I know some will laugh as they think this is not deep, they are the ones that consider deep to be within inches of the intake on their snorkel. For general riding "top of the wheel" is enough to cover most radiators and this is where we will begin.

Remember the three reasons we listed on the other page:
1.To keep the radiator out of the mud.
2. To aid in keeping the engine cool.
3. To make it easier to clean and maintain.

Have you ever tried to look up under your bike and see if the radiator is clean? If you have you will know it is very difficult to do this unless you have a light behind the radiator and then you have to be on your hands and knees to get a decent look. By moving the radiator up top you can easily see if it is stopped up or not. Chances are, if it is located up top, it will not be unless you like the "submarine holes".

You have to be aware that most bikes do not hold more than 2 quarts of coolant. That's right 2 - just TWO. Stop up 25% of your radiator and you are asking a lot of your cooling system. Take it from me (actual experience here) when the temp light comes "ON" on a 660 Grizzly your engine is at 260 degrees. The importance in keeping your cooling system functioning cannot be stressed enough. For more info on cooling suggestions and tips(CLICK HERE).

Xtreme Products designed these kits with you in mind. We wanted something that looked good but also serves a purpose and works. Here are a few things we did, and others did not, that sets ours apart.

1. If the bike comes with an oil cooler we moved it up top also. Remember the oil cooler is as important, probably more so, as the radiator. The radiator cools the cylinder walls and the head, that's all. Oil cools the crank, connecting rod, piston and clutch (for those equipped with a wet clutch), plus aids in cooling the cylinder walls. The hotter the oil the more likely it is to break down. Moving the oil cooler and keeping it clean in major. Most good mechanics will tell you the oil is 40% of the cooling process. Some will go as high as 60%. Moving the oil cooler only makes good sense.

2. We move the overflow bottles if at all possible so you can monitor the fluid level and keep it maintained with a minimum of hassle.

3. Lets say you like the "submarine holes", ever tried to wash the mud out of your radiator? If so you know some relocation kits do not incorporate a removable "face cover" ours does. Other manufactures have the "face cover" or the part covering the fins of the radiator built into their relocation mount and it is not removable. Our front cover is held in place by plastic push pins just like the OEMs use on their plastic body parts. Removing the front "face cover" allows you to flush and wash the system with a minimum of effort. When the unit is clean simply replace the cover. Remember when you are looking for a relocation kit, even with the relocation kit it will still be necessary to wash and clean the radiator. We offer these covers in several styles (CLICK HERE) the standard being the "flamed Xtreme Logo". We offer covers for the Arctic Cat, Yamaha Big Bear, we even have one for the Honda. We are working on more all the time. These are just something to help set your bike apart.

4. All of our parts are powder coated with a "silver vein" coating to add to the life of the kit. Mounting brackets are made of 10gauge steel and the covers are .0625 gauge. The hardware kit includes new hoses or hose extensions to reconnect the radiators (also for oil coolers if applicable), hose clamps, hose barbs when you are extending a hose, U-bolts, bolts and nuts plus wire connectors and wire to relocate the fan.

NOTE: Remember even with a Radiator Relocation System it is important that you check your radiator often and keep it clean. This is why we made our system user friendly, so you can keep it clean with less hassle.
