Customers who order a radiator relocation kit usually ask two questions before they click buy: what exactly comes in the box, and can I install it myself? For the Renegade XMR, here is the rundown.
Our Can-am Renegade XMR Radiator Relocation Kit & Bumper (2016-2022) fits 2016-2022 Can-Am Renegade XMR models. It combines a radiator relocation frame with a steel bumper, and all the mounting hardware is included.
What is in the box
- Radiator relocation frame
- Steel bumper
- All necessary mounting hardware
Because the bumper and relocation frame come together, you get radiator protection and front-end protection in one install.
Why relocate on an XMR
The Renegade XMR is built for mud, and mud is hard on a low-mounted radiator. Muck packs into the fins, airflow drops and the engine overheats. Moving the radiator up out of the splash zone keeps it cleaner and cooling better, and it is much easier to rinse off after a ride.
Install overview
Every install is a little different, but the general flow goes like this:
- Drain the coolant and remove the plastics that cover the radiator area
- Remove the radiator from its stock location
- Mount the relocation frame and steel bumper with the included hardware
- Install the radiator in its new location and route the hoses
- Refill coolant, bleed out air pockets and check for leaks
Take your time with hose routing. Make sure nothing kinks, rubs or gets pinched when the bars turn or the suspension moves. Run the machine up to temperature and recheck coolant level once it cools.
A rider with basic hand tools and some mechanical experience can usually handle this job in the garage. Set aside a good block of time, keep a drain pan handy, lay out the hardware before you start, and have fresh coolant on hand to refill the system once the radiator is in place. The added bumper is a bonus, giving the front of your XMR solid protection against stumps, logs and other machines in the mud pits.
