I bought my wife an ‘12 850 XP EPS. I put a Highlifter 6” lift with 30” Terminators. Great bike. Plenty of power, smooth, dependable, and easy to work on. Ready to sell my ‘17 Outlander XMR 1000 for a Polaris. I am 6’5” tall and 240lbs. I like the longer wheel base of the XMR. Would like to buy a newer 850 Touring. I want to buy the same 6” Highlifter lift. Other than the shock mounts, isn’t all the other suspension parts the same. I would to carry 1 front axle and 1 rear axle, 1 oil filter, 1 air filter, and one set of tools. Right now I have her 2 spare Axles, plus my 3 for the Can Am, sets of everything, plus many different tools. So, other than the longer framed Touring, are A-arms, axles, brake calipers, filters, etc the same. Also, what about the ‘17, ‘18, and soon to be ‘19 year models. Regular XPs have new body style...what about suspension, filters, etc? Do the XP match the ‘10-‘16 models...touring models? Any info would be appreciated.
Old Area New Trail (to us)
Headed out yesterday with the mindset to hit a new trail in an area that we have ridden in before but haven't had the opportunity to ride this particular trail. Mostly be cause it was a dead end in and back trail and not a loop that connected up with the other trail systems. What a great ride it was! It gave us a view of the valley that we live in that I have never seen and a perspective of how the different drainage's lie in correlation with each other in the valley. After working our way to the top of this seemingly slightly used trail, it was very disappointing to find quite a bit of trash that others have left behind in this beautiful area. Gallon plastic juice jugs, empty beer and pop cans, plastic snack trays (lunchables), tuna cans and lids, plastic bags. etc..
We packed out pretty much what we found, very discouraging. And there are those who wonder why areas like this get shut down, how can you have room to pack stuff in but not room to crush cans etc. and take it back out with you?Will take extra means to pack more out next time we go. Anyway was a beautiful day and wish that we wouldn't have had something else planned in the evening so we could've kept riding. as it was put on about 45 miles. It was great to stop, talk, and look at the wild flowers and scenery. Took my cousin with who is more like a brother than cousin, and is a cancer survivor. He has a great appreciation for life, so even stopping to "smell the roses so to speak" is something he really enjoys so we were very grateful to be able to spend the time with another we love. It was a great day and can't wait to share that area with other friends who haven't been there. It would be a great area to go for an evening picnic and watch the sun set. Definitely will hit this one again.

What is this part?
Had my xmr at the dealer, having my drive shaft replaced, and found this rubber gasket laying on the back of my rear rack when I got home. I have no idea what it goes to or even know if it goes to my XMR. Does anyone know what it goes to? ..
Neutral Light Always On
I have a 1997 Polaris Sportsman Xplorer 500. I just recently bought it and am just trying to fix it up some because the engine runs great, just needs a little TLC elsewhere. One problem I came across was the neutral light would stay on after I shifted into Hi or Lo. I could push the shifter all the way forward and the light would turn off but then the shifter would just fall back a little to turn the light back on. The bike is still in gear but I've already replaced the neutral light (blown bulb) before and don't want to have it blown again. What might be causing the shifter to slip back down but still be in gear?

2008 HO 400 Outlander wont start
Hello all, my name is John and I'm descending into madness over this ATV. It was purchased by my father-in-law in 2008 and was ridden for a total of 330'ish miles over a couple of years and then parked. He passed away and we inherited it and I am just now getting around to getting it back up and running. When he passed in 2016 we tried to move it around in the garage and it would blow the fuel pump fuse so I pulled the tank and pump to find it all corroded and rotted away. Two years later, this weekend it got a brand new fuel pump assembly and I put it back together but it will not start. It will crank over, I've pulled the plug and cleaned it and checked it for spark and it has a nice blue spark. I pulled the airbox off cleaned the throttle body the best I could and the IAC and put it back together. The fuel pump comes on and is pressurizing the hose, I even pulled the fuel line back apart and made it pump fuel back into the gas can (using new fuel for all of this). I know it is frowned upon from what I've read but if I spray some carb cleaner into the air intake it will run and of course dies. But it will not run any other way. I have not tested the fuel pressure yet as I do not have the equipment but I have noticed when I have pulled the spark plug it is dry like zero fuel is getting in the chamber. Is there something else I should be looking at here? Thank you for any help.
1996 Sportsman. No spark
I’ve got a 1996 Sportsman 500 that doesn’t seem to have any spark. It wouldn’t start so I pulled the plug and changed it and tried cranking it and notice there was no spark at the electrode. Thoughts of what all to check and how to check it before I start replacing parts.
looking for switched power on my 17 outty 850
Hey guys,
So, first mod will be some halos from snorkelyouratv.com
I installed halos on my brute force, but there was a powerblock already.
My question: where can I find switched/ignition power to power these on my 2017 outlander 850XT

4 corners the same or not???
Greetings people...
I have a tire size question for the board here. Currently on my 1k XP I’m running 28” blackwater evolutions with about 650 miles on them. Impressed with these tires, Iam not. I ride mostly hard and some mud.
That being said I’m doing my research for a new set. My question is what are the advantages and disadvantages of running all the same width tires.
