Hi my name is Mike and I have a 2015 Outlander XMR 1000. I am happy to be a part of this group and look forward to learning!

I have a 96 magnum 425 that I bought 2 years ago. I have done a ton of research on this atv and found out how to make it a 518 and plan on doing this when I can afford to do it. I have gotten the cam and carb already however I would like to know if there is a beter carb to put in it like a slide carb and if it is actually worth doing such. If anybody has any experience in doing this your help would be greatly appreciated

I’ve done a few upgrades to my 2016 outlander XT 650. Installed the can am snorkel kit, can am rad relocate, made some spring spacers for the shocks, installed a dalton clutch kit with secondary spring, and last I got some 28x10x12 gorilla silver backs!

Now I’m ready to hit the mud again!

Just purchased a 2018 xmr 1000 atv. I wanted to put a windshield on this bike along with hanwarmers for this winter. The brp fitment guide says the windshields will not go on the xmrs? I was originally thinking it’s because the bike comes standard with hand wind guards so they just say you can’t put a windshield on. Now I’m not so sure, maybe it’s because of the radiator? Has anyone put a windshield on a 2018 Can Am outlander xmr 1000?

I love the outdoors and want participate in my outdoor hobbies once again with my sons. I haven't been able to get out in the woods to do my hobbies in over 2 yrs. because my health has failed so poorly and I have been bed- ridden . Unfortunatly, I cant afford one at this point, I've been saving but even the used ones are very expensive. I am wondering if there are any programs that offer refurbished ones for cheap to people with disabilites.

When my 14 Outlander Max 1000 is hot the starter struggles to start the engine. Is this a starter issue? What is the fix?

my front left cv joint has got oily looking stuff on it but there is no oily looking stuff anywhere else,,, it is all over that "black cylindrical" part that is about 2" in diameter and 2 inches long right after the spline that goes into the front drive differential thing and right before the inner boot. does this mean the seal is going? i can't figure out where the oil is coming from o ther than that, the rest of the cv joint is dry.

i think they are the stock cv joints and i have put 3500 VERY, VERY hard miles on this poor atv.

if i have to buy new cv joints,, any recommendations for decent ones? stay with stock polaris? or are there better aftermarket ones. not looking for carbon fiber adamantium crazy expensive ones, just something that will last another 3k miles.

thanks for any help,,,

I have a 2002 sportsman 700 and just drove the Mrs. around the field in low for about 10min and it overheated! Combined we are around 325lb. The fan didn't turn on and I noticed steam coming from the front. Any thought? It flashed to signal it was overheated but the fan never came on.
Thanks

Bought my new 1000 max three months ago took into dealer in Kelowna for its first service when the maintance required at 1129 km this is a ten hour service when I dropped it off told them a pinging noise was comeing from the front of the machine when runnning. Of coarse they couldn’t find anything wrong. But still charged me 59.50 plus tax to look at it. And said go to go. We left next day to ride all over kootneys put on 850 km the pinging noise came back took back to dealer with a vid recording of the noise and they know right away what it was at that point so they called back to day saying they got clutch apart and needs one way bearing rollers and ball bearings. So it’s getimg fixed but was told I should have had clutch serviced at 1000km and because it wasn’t done it might not be covered under warranty shouldn’t the clutch been look at when they did the 10 hour service with cost me 698.21 with 179.97 was for a case of 0w40 oil
