2006 Can-Am Outlander 800 Overheats

My outlander 800 2006 used to be fine and rarely the fan would come on. Now it runns for about 15 min. and it overheats?

Check the following:

Remove the Radiator and clean it. Use a flashlight to shine thru the backside and make sure you can see light through all the fins.

Add new coolant and make sure there is no air in the system.

Now leave the cap off and rev the engine you should see the coolant disrupt the surface of the coolant in the radiator with the cap off (kind of like a ripple effect) if not maybe you should make sure the pump is working.

I would also change the pressure cap if any of the above does not work.

Have you taken it muddying. Maybe a thermostat sensor. Or your radiator is out. Maybe radiator fluid. Could be several things
