XT instrument guage cluster

Hey everyone. I have the base model HD8 and was hoping to upgrade my instrument panel to the XT cluster. Reading a couple threads here and on the web, everyone said it will work and is plug and play.

So I ordered OEM #710005135. I recieved it and proceeded to install. Plugged it in and turned it to the on position. It went through its greeting and said "recognized new ecu", then scrolled "performance key" then nothing else. I then attempted to start the machine and nothing happened. It wouldn't kick over. I made sure it was fully in park and nothing. Just a click noise but no engine turnover.

I removed it and plugged in my original guage and the machine started.

Is this not compatible with the base model? I read several people said it worked just fine. Any help will be appreciated.

Led and 4 headlight mod

Now Im wondering if anyone has installed led headlights and did the 4 headlight mod. Does that sufficiently get around the charging issue since led’s use less power?

Sportsman 850 starter coupler gear

Part listed as ASM-DAMPER,SPRING,850 New Part#1333090 Old part# 1333002

Hey Guys so the motor or something start banging like nuts, maybe the crank or something deep. We get inside and find the ($500+) part listed above is broken, moving around, clip is broken and missing parts. (inside of motor looks fine and no metal so we are focusing on this broken part.)

We know we need to replace it but would like to know if anyone has explanation of what it actually dampens or does? Why not have it solid to give more HP to the wheels?

What about doing away with all the guts, springs, clips etc.. and welding it solid and re balancing it, with no dampening capacity at all... What would that do? Pro & Cons

I have not seen any aftermarket replacement with or without the dampening system of springs and stuff inside. Yes we cut it open and it has a bunch of springs, clips and dodads in there..LOL

We were talking and wondering if Can Am has a solid one and that is why they seem to have more snap off the line and not as spongee or soft. Any ideas or help is much appreciated. Thank you in advance - Pic in link below.

All headlights new models

A few easy questions.

I have a 2008 renegade and I wanted all four lights to come on but it sounds like that mod is a bad idea. Do the Newer renegades have that option now? I’m seeing a lot of videos online were all four lights are on.

How about the outlander, do all 4 lights come on in high mode?

Also I find it annoying that the headlight switch is with the key instead of on the handlebars. Do the newer models have the headlight off switch moved to the handlebar?

Thanks

Returning to the forum

I was part of this forum a while ago. I got started with some Facebook groups but I always like this forum better. I look forward to reading what's new. We have a 2008 outlander max 800 and a 2004 400.

New grey beard.

Hello ladies and gentlemen. I am new to the forums here and have purchased my first atv. I purchased a 2017 Polaris Sportsman 850sp new. Hopefully I will not be creating threads in the repair section too often. Lol. From what I've seen you people have some great looking machines.
