Ed Zachary. I avoid speedy mudding for that reason alone. Never even got close to being hot.

I learned this lesson my second group ride (with the Pioneer).

After TO '23, I bought one of those 12V sprayer contraptions from ChinaZon. Carried it with us on this past TO. We didn't need it for the Talon, but we did use it on someone else's Pioneer. Worth the $28, I think.

EDIT: I bought the same one @NTCPrezJB posted the link to moments before I made my post ... :cool:

I suppose I have been fortunate to not have had any overheat issues. rode Wed-Sat without so much as a rinse off. have not taken any special precautions for dirty water/mud in the radiator. perhaps its a 22+ improvement and impacts earlier models more?

You just have to avoid going elevedy billion MPH through muddy water and the like. When you do that, it throws it up on the radiator. Do it enough times, it will eventually fill the passages through which air needs to travel in order to keep the coolant temp low, and you risk overheating. I don't think anything has changed relative to 22+ P1K's ... I think you simply used common sense, unlike what I and others have done in the past. 😀

I spent most of yesterday cleaning 2 machines which got me to thinking. First, the cost of the Non Resident Permit required obviously reflects the amount of soil they export to other states. Secondly, I wish someone would invent a self cleaning SXS. I have big Flairs and A Arm Guards that collect a tremendous amount of debris. The cleanup after mostly cleaning the underside of my Talons was horrendous

I can't speak for the Talons but I know that P1Ks are a nightmare to clean well. The pictures below are from a ride in RRB during some really wet, muddy and frozen conditions 🥶........by the time I made it back home to S. FL the buggy had thawed out, I think I left a good trail of mud the entire way home 😂😂😂 nothing like some good Ol' frozen mud.

Talons hide it just as good as the Pioneer
