I have a 2020 Honda Pioneer 1000-5 and the radiator keeps getting plugged enough to overheat the engine when trail riding/ going through mud. We go through the exact same thing that others in our group go through (they have Teryx’s and Wolverines) and they have no issues. Is this an issue with the pioneer? It seems weird because we have more ground clearance than others don’t go through the same thing yet we are having to stop riding much earlier than our group every time we ride because we get overheated.

Buy a portable pressure washer as stated. Also if you're following these people through the mudholes, they stir up all the debris and your radiator picks up all the garbage. It's happened to my buddy numueros times. 3 pioneer 1000s in a row and the 3rd machine was picking up all the gunk. Go slow through all the big mudholes that doesn't require you sending it.

Wow, I’m mad I didn’t think about this 😂
