Ok fellas Love polaris bikes.. that's all I've bought for over 20yrs but this ktm engine got me questioning my mechanical abilities and believe you me I'm 45 and been working on bikes since well forever lol.. Here goes... was cranking full throttle 5th gear passing the slower traffic and all at once a loud hollow sounding rattle like the piston was gonna fly out and a sound you usually only hear when your piston and rings are shot... you know loose sloppy metal hitting sound...anyway shit it down immedately.m let it cool...hit the starter button and it fires right up and was that same sound just at a slower rpm.. shut it back down brought it home and started researching what to check... checked timing tensioner.. seems fine but ordered a manual one for it anyway... still waiting on it...pulled top end down to the head checking everything and honestly everything looks great...so pulled side cases and of course the crank but was completely loose a has to be tightened. What I'm wanting to know is could that loose crank nut make such a noise.. or could the combination of the timing chain tensioner failing and the crank nut together cause this? And since I have the engine down this far what else should I check for coming loose as the more I read they apparently do come loose... I'm just needing someone who has been where I am and figured it out to give me some pointers or suggestions... Id really appreciate the help... oh one other thing does anybody have a link to a service manual download for this? Thanks in advance...

Looking to modify my 17 outlander 850 XMR. Checked around and searched with no results. Has anyone had any experience with the full armor A-arms? I have read some about the PATV version and they seem to have some issues with turning radius and rotor contact, plus cutting frame to fit. Just wondering if full armor's version has the same "bugs". I have emailed them and asked these questions, waiting on reply. I will let y'all know what they say. Thanks.

Howdy - first post for help. Got me a 05 Magnum 330 4x4. I’d like to hook up a 12v socket/5v usb to the handlebars or fender. I’ve never done any wiring on a quad, but I know what red, black, yellow and white look like ;). Should there be a vacant plug already there somewhere for that kind of thing? If so, where? If not, how to I wire that kind of thing. I’d also like to upgrade the headlights to LEDs. Are the connection plugs pretty standard? I like pictures and videos and don’t know the mechanical jargon very well. So please dumb it down. Thanks for any help you can be. God bless.

Hello All - brand new to the forum. Just picked up an ‘05 Magnum 330 4x4 with 989 Miles on it. Very nice shape. Lookin forward to learning and being able to fix, maintane and accessories on my own. Low on knowledge. High on tinkering skills.:smile

Hello all, new to the site. Recently picked up a used outlander max, and riding the heat comming off the engine will roast your calves, seems really hot to me. You can hear the fan comming on and off while riding, it's not spitting coolant or nothing like that. Just hot as all get out. You have to put your legs out away from the machine it gets that hot.

Not familiar with can am, and haven't ever owned a 800, so not sure what's up, if it's something normal or not, sure don't feel like it. The heat seems like it would melt wires and torch any electronics. Any insight would be much appreciated, thanks,

Can anyone tell me for sure what are the intake and exhaust valve specs for this machine?

Hi guys,

I have a new to me 2004.5 Sportsman 500. It needs a new rear auxiliary brake master cylinder. Normally, I'm not the corner cutting type and I know that in the majority of cases, OEM trumps all.

Given that these things seem to be a common failure point on these machines, however, I'm wondering what the heck the difference would be if I just bought a replacement from Amazon for $12. What are all you guys using for your replacements? OEM or Amazon?

Any input is welcome.

Does anyone know if 26x10 will fit on the front and 26x12 on the back without lifts or spacers?

Thank you.
