2 part question here.

I bought a new 2008 sportsman for my daughter this past march...not a problem with it...until we hit some mud...and the mud dries. The radiator will clog and until you pressure wash it---the machine will run hot. The coolant---fan--thermostat and water pump all appear to be ok.

My question--- is this a common problem?

My second question is ----after looking at the problem --a solution I would like to try is to put a mesh material to surround the radiator and prevent the mud such easy access. Do they make anything like what I am thinking of?

Thanks
