antifreeze still in oil
I have replaced the water pump gasket and the head gasket on my 04 Sportsman 600. I had the head shaved 10,000th to ensure a clean level surface. I didn't not notice any cracks or warpage. Should I have replace the base gasket as well? Im at wits end and need advice badly before I start throwing parts in my neighbors yard out of frustration. Any suggestion would be appreciated by my neighbors.
Sportsman 450 owner’s review
I've got a friend/new rider that thinks he might want to buy a machine. I've found a sweet deal on a practically new 2016 Sportsman 450. It's got less than 200 miles on it. I've seen where some have had a few electrical and other issues with the 450's.
My question is, are you current owners satisfied with your machines and would you buy the 450 again if you had it to do over? This guy knows nothing about atv's and is depending on me to find what he needs. I have no personal experience with the 450's.

Where to buy a plow
I'm looking to get a snow plow for my 95 xplorer. I'm looking for recommendations for where is a good place to buy online and what brand would you recommend? Thanks
2019 Models anybody familiar with these?
These pics come from Can Ams Website / Owners Manuals. I screen shot them from iPhone. I haven’t heard or seen anything about the Traxter Series or Maverick Tail T Series I wonder if T means turbo.

2013 can-am outlander 650 for towing
Hi there,
I've got a 2013 can-am outlander 650 with 26.5 pitbull growlers and a Dalton clutch kit. I use my bike to tow a 12 foot aluminum with all camping gear in it during fishing trips (Food, water etc gets pretty heavy so I always tow in low).
After my most recent trip my belt has started to slip on take-off, only after I got home and moved a utility trailer around). The bike has now got 7100 KMS (4400 miles).
Any easy improvements I can make to help things out? I'm guessing I may be due for a belt change. I've replaced the one way bearings at a local parts store about a year ago and now it doesn't change gears as well - I even used that expensive white grease.
So I am thinking a new belt and can-am one-way bearings to help with gear change? Anything else that should be changed preventive wise after this mileage? I did notice quite a bit of belt dust and cleaned everything and a little while after the cleaning I noticed their was still lots of belt dust, is this normal or is the belt running too hot?
Thanks for your time! Any ideas are welcomed :)

Bogs and no upper power
Battery went bad so I decided to rebuild the starter until I got a battery.
After the rebuild and New battery it starts just fine.
Took it for a spin, worked great for about 500 feet then loss power and it bogs down. Rode it back home full throttle 29 MPH max. Then it would pick up power all of a sudden, then loos it again. Now it is low on power all the time. Thinking I might have a loose wire to a sensor after messing around with getting the starter out? Any ideas? I don't see it throwing any codes.

Sportsman 500 loss of throttle response / top end speed
I posted this in another thread as was advised to start a new thread.
Have a 99 Sportsman 500 EBS machine that has lost top end speed (half to full throttle no response) while driving.
With the machine in neutral the engine revs fine throughout the throttle range. When I lift the rear end off the ground (jack stand) the engine revs normally in gear and neutral and the clutches appear to operate correctly in their respective full range. ( i pulled the clutch cover off and observed the clutches in action). While riding down the road the primary clutch compresses approx half the distance which coorepsonds to the half throttle postion, from half to full throttle nothing changes in engine performance. I would say that putting a load on the machine is the issue put is this more a clutch issue or more of a carb/fuel issue?
Had one reply that stated that it is a clutch issue..rebuild or replace them.
If that is indeed the case that the clutches are the issue is there a specific part that would cause the symptoms that I am experiencing under load (driving) and non load (wheels of the ground)?

1/4″ 4×156 Wheel Spacers
Is there any interest in a pair (qty 2) of the 1/4" Wheel Spacers (4x156)? I have a set that I never used.... then switched rims and didn't need. They should fit all of the 'value line' machines (400, 450, 500, 600, 700 & 800's) and maybe some others!? Used to add some clearance between the tire and tie-rod ends when installing slightly larger then factory sized (width) tires.
It appears they sell for ~$42 on Amazon.... so I'd let this set go to someone from the forum for $35 cash and I'll even cover UPS ground shipping to you (in the lower 48 only).
