Remove the front screen before each wash, and wash it several times with grease lightning using pump sprayer...But once it gets caked you need to remove the oil cooler to get it clean(cap the oil lines and remove before each oil change typically)...When it gets really bad, you have remove the oil cooler and radiator(good thing you can remove it without taking either the front rack off or the front plastic)...Add 1/2" spacer between the radiator and oil cooler, helps a little but not much...You could always mount it to your front rack, wish HL had a kit or something.

I was told to remove the radiator before using the coil cleaner because the the coil cleaner would ruin the rubber and plastic, based on what you know is this correct Screg?

Thanks Screg, might try a small amount of the Alkaline (Not the Acid) and see what happens.

I do run some Red Line water wetter in the radiator but typically the stock Rincon (without the HMF) runs cool, didn't need to start pulling the oil cooler untill a 1000 miles, and didn't have to pull the radiator out and throughly clean it until 3000 miles (just did it so I should be good for another year until we hit the dry season again).

I saw the HL kit for the Kawi which includes a new radiator, but haven't seen anybody using it on the Rincon...Did you leave the stock radiator and oil cooler installed and just extend the stock hoses?...Does the new HL fan and the stock fan run off the same circuit at the same time Black Rinny?
