05 foreman 500 question - Honda Foreman Forums : Rubicon, Rincon, Rancher and Recon Forum

Picked up a barely used 05 foreman 2wd and I'm stumped on the radiators. I'm assuming they are oil coolers and that it's not water cooled since I just can't seem to find a reservoir or fill?? There are two small ones. One up top, one one bottom. Can anyone clarify what is goin on here?

My question would then be..what is the white plastic reservoir just under the seat towards the front, just behind the fuel tank.

Yes they are oil coolers and as for the white reservoir??? Havent a clue, mine has a round baffle like thing on the stock intake plastic snorkle but it isnt white.

Took another closer look and it's the stock snorkle for the air intake. Mine is a clearish white plastic. Had me confused cause it looked like a liquid reservoir similar to that of a washer fluid tank on a car. I've been thinking it was the radiator reservoir.
