Anyone with sti 7'' wheels, how large is the wheelbase?
Trying to figure out if they will fit my trailer if I upgrade to STI wheels (like the hd3 or hd9 beadlocks). But all their offset wheels are the same I believe.

can anyone measure their outlander with those wheels and just tell me how wide it is from tire to tire to know if it will fit my trailer? Thanks
please let me know what tires you have on.

I was just wondering if anyone had any experience with the wetsounds stealth 6 ultra hd sound bar and if it was worth the money or if there are any that are just as good for a little less.

I recently bought a 2012 1000 Outlander off a neighbor. Got a really "good" deal on it so I was pretty pumped. Put about 200 easy miles on it and she seized up. Shortly after I bought it it started showing PTO bearing issues... wouldn't start worth a dam once it got warm. Aaaaaanyways I've priced out rebuild kits and talked to the local shop about a rebuild and I would kind've like to try to do this rebuild on my own. YouTube has some pretty alright videos on how to tear down the gen 1 engines but I can't find much for the 1k engines. Wondering if anyone has compiled a step by step checklist or has videos kicking around of a rebuild so I only have to do er once. I've been tearing different can-ams apart for ten years but have never had to tackle an engine job as so far anything I've bought new has lasted me forever. I know there's some people on this forum way smarter than myself in this regard so hoping for some decent info!!

Thanks in advance:smile

High beam works on both sides low beam only works one one side checked all the fuses there all good I’m thinking it’s the light bulb Just wondering what I should check can’t Figure out what it could be

What is the best atv cover? Is it the trailerable can am cover? There are cheaper alternatives but my previous one did not fit so well and ended up being torn apart by sun and wind after 2 years....

No space for a garage spot for the next few years, might move and build a new house in a few years with a big garage, but for now my garage is full of stuff already.

Love the power steering. Makes driving so much easier. Bumps are no big deal now.
800r power is impressive coming from a 400ho. Way enough power for my needs. Definitely pulls. Love it.

Only issue I have is when trail riding fast, when I see a rock and I brake, the front end drops and I hit the rock... lucky I had alum plates because I hit a rock pretty hard and its dinged in quite a bit. Also has a tendency to jump on small bumps.

Will probably do the elka stage 3 upgrade or I will end up destroying the quad...
As for tires and wheels, I have not figured yet. The oem carlisle act easily went through 6 inches of mud so they are not so bad, but I would not have felt very comfortable in deeper mud or muskeg, so I will think about upgrading to mega mayhems or something. They work fine for hardpack or grass...

I have a '99 Sport 400. Last night I was riding and hit the rear brake guard on a rock as I was going down a hill. The upper and lower caliper mounts broke causing the caliper to fall off. When I tried to slow down I had no brake pressure to the front or rear brakes because all the fluid leaked out. I ended up going off the side of the trail crashing through a bunch of scrub oak and rolling. Luckily I only got a few scrapes and scratches. My question is why is the front and rear brakes controlled together by the right hand brake? The foot brake operates only the rear. I think this is a bad design. This setup left me with only things on the side of the trail to stop me. I am thinking of using the left hand brake to control the front brakes and installing a right hand brake to control the rear brake. If I hit another rock and the rear brake mounts get destroyed at least I could stop. Would this be safer?

Hello! I just purchased a BOSS Audio ATV30BRGB from amazon for my 2018 Sportsman 570 SP. Anyone have one? Any good? Spent $200 on it. My stepbrother recommended it...

I have a nice 2012 550 Sportsman I'm parting out that hit a box in the right front and messed up front right arms , axle and some fender pieces. The bike had a little over 900 miles and 140 hours. It was stock and in good shape. It was a on power steering bike. It was originally green so the camo is a vinyl kit that was added. I've got about half the bike pulled down. If you need something the best way to contact me is by text or call at 256-612-9015. I part bikes out on the side and am on a lot of forums and such, so that along with working 50-60 hours a week most weeks I easily forget to get back on forums and check stuff.
