I didnt think finding a new motor would be as difficult of a choice but after doing some homework I realized theres some different routes to choose from. My now seized 08 800 renny will be a learning project for myself. So im in search of a drop in replacement. What ive come to find is that there are some universal years? I have read that the 09 800r is the setup I would gain from the most but have to upgrade airbox or intake? While the 08 has something that should be incorporated so you have the best of both years? Cam change? Im in Michigan and I havent found anyone that has rebuilds or a good quality used motor that has been gone through. Nobody that makes me feel confident because I am lacking some serious knowledge in the repair area of this. When I seen this quad I had to have it and it.changed my life after riding it...it's an addiction that im willing to afford and most certainly needing to dive in and learn my upkeep essentials and engine knowledge. It's light years away from my knowledge about lifted golf carts! So im humbled and greatful if anyone could point me in a direction or a package setup I need to purchase. As of now I've been on eBay looking at Motors I know that's not the only source. I will be having a hand getting the new one in and putting any upgrades on that are needed if I buy a stock motor. Right now it has snorkels and hmf slip on. My motor seized after a hard day of road riding on 29.5 terms. When I finally got to the mud it started knocking so I know it got hot. I feel like I had some cooling problems with this motor and if I could address that and also I have read that I may need a tuner cuz it may have leaned it out having the snorkels and exhaust combo. That's where I'm at guys any help would be greatly appreciated

Just a quick question...should I always see some sort of level of coolant in the recovery bottle?

I parted it out after the engine spun a rod bearing. I have lots of parts left.

As the title says what do you fellas say???? As diesels are becoming more and more popular. And the manufacturers are engineering more diesels for more pickup truck applications. This will be a good place to get information and share your thoughts on DIESELS!!!!

Renegade 800 XXC / 2011

Hello guys i have another anoying problem again.. i drive around for like 2 hours and then my throttle is cutting out like i dont get any gas it goes away and comes back if i let stand for about 10-20 minutes it's gone and works again hours what could that problem be? i think it could be because my tank is maybe getting to hot? i installed a new cover with a vent system on my tank and will today add some heat cover on the tank and i also installed a new air filter & cleaned the throttle valve.

What i did so far and think it could be:

Gas pump or filter bad | I checked the pump it comes enough out, filter i did not check yet.
Crank sensor | not check yet
Throttle sensor | not check yet
-----------------------------------------

added a valve/gland cleaner to the gas
added new gas
added heat cover for tank
added vent cover on tank
checked cvt & belt


I hope someone has an idea what this problem could be like i said it only happens about driving for atleast 1 hour or so then when i let stand for 10-15 min its gone for the next hour.

I have a stick 05 scrambler and was wondering what color primary spring to get for more bottom end like acceleration and pull wheelers better only rly want to change the primary for now

I have a 2017 xmr 850, I actually didn't mind the stock clutching with the stock 30 backs. Now I have 29.5 outlaw 2s with msa wheels, and I've noticed I've lost some of the get up and go with the heavy outlaws. Was wondering if it would help just changing the secondary spring instead of just getting the whole kit. I'm saving for a primary that's why I don't want the whole kit. Just something to help until I get one.

Picking up my new Sportsman 570EPS tomorrow. It’s not my First ATV but is my first brand new one. What does everyone recommend to help the mud come off? Right now I’m planning on giving it a coat of SC1 on the underneath and possibly waxing the plastics. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Hey folks,

First post here, hopefully ill be spending much more time here soon! Short introduction; 22 from Alberta Canada, Currently ride a 2008 Yamaha Wolverine 450, been riding for about 10 years. BMWs, old Cummins trucks, computers, camping, and skiing are the rest of my life when work isn't taking over.

Looking at picking up a new machine late this summer or into fall and am well underway into researching what I want. I have narrowed it down to either an Outlander 850 XMR, or a Renegade 1000 XMR and I keep going back and forth between them. The ideal machine would be a short chassis Outty 1000 XMR. I was hopeful for 2019 models to incorporate one but they have been released for a couple weeks now and no such luck.
So, I have scheduled to go in and speak with a reputable dealer in a couple weeks about some options, hopefully they have a couple machines I can throw a leg over. For now I am looking for some insight from "non-commission based opinions" if you will. Been riding 450 and 500 sport 4x4s (scramblers/wolverines) for close to 10 years now, and I think I am finally ready to step up to something more capable, with some more jam to it.


if you have an 850, is it enough? wish you had more?

Why you do you like your renegade/outlander over the outlander/renegade?


I'm really interested in the Outlander 850 XMR for the already racked rad, rear rack/storage, and the 2019 colour for the 850 is sick in my opinion.
The renegade looks flat out nasty, and I want that motor and the shocks... but to shell out an extra $4,000CAD, plus a rad relocate, and probably a small aftermarket rear rack is hard to justify for essentially cut fenders and +10HP in my mind.


No matter which machine I end up with I plan on the basic mods (pipe, tuner, filter, clutches), and will be running SuperATV Assasinators.
Outlander 1000XMR is out of the question for right now unless someone changes my mind, I know people that have owned them and regretted it because the terrible turning radius and long wheelbase makes it tough to use anywhere but a mudhole.
