Pull into any mud park and look at the Outlanders. You will see a lot of them with radiators sitting up high, out of reach of the muck. Once you have cleaned clay out of a stock Outlander radiator a few times, you understand why.
Our Can-Am Outlander (Gen2) 500/570/650/850/1000 2012-2024 Radiator Relocation Kit moves the radiator up out of harm’s way. Here is what is in the box and how the install goes.
Which Outlanders it fits
This kit is built for Gen2 Can-Am Outlander models from 2012 through 2024 in the 500, 570, 650, 850 and 1000 sizes. That covers a big chunk of the Outlanders on the trail today. Make sure your machine is a Gen2 model in that year range before you order. Can-Am also built Outlander MAX and other variants over those years, so check your exact model and any accessories mounted near the radiator area before you start.
What is included
- The radiator relocation bracket
- The mounting hardware needed for installation
The bracket is the heart of the kit. It gives the radiator a new, raised home where it gets more clean air and less mud. Depending on your setup, you may also want to plan on fresh coolant for the refill.
Install overview
Every machine is a little different, but the general process looks like this:
- Let the engine cool completely, then drain the coolant.
- Remove the plastics and parts needed to reach the radiator.
- Take out the stock radiator and install the relocation bracket.
- Mount the radiator in its new position with the supplied hardware.
- Route and connect the coolant hoses, then refill and bleed the system.
- Run the engine up to temperature and check for leaks and fan operation.
Pay close attention to hose routing. Make sure nothing rubs on sharp edges or kinks when the handlebars turn. Bleeding air out of the system is also important, since trapped air can cause hot spots and overheating.
Why riders do it
A radiator mounted low in the front catches mud and water from the tires. Once the fins clog, the Outlander starts running hot. Moving it up keeps the core cleaner so the engine can stay cool through long, muddy rides. If you are unsure about fit or the install, call the Wild Boar team at 850-912-4350 and we will help.
