Just Joined – From Maine

Hello! My wife and I just purchased our first CAN-AM Outlander. We went with the Max XT 850 and couldn't be happier. Just waiting for the trails to dry and open up in the next week or so. We are from northern Maine close to the border of Canada. Looking forward to being part of the CAN-AM community. We have a good group of men/women/families that like to go out and ride on weekends/after work on weekdays. Most of us in our group have SxS but several now have ATV's. Our group consists of all makes and models not just CAN-AM and are family friendly. We typically ride the more aggressive trails around here with good elevation changes and mud as opposed to the railroad bed trails. We usually plan our trip around the experience level of the people riding with us. If anyone is ever in northern Maine and looking for people to ride with let me know!

2007 sportsman 800 hard to get in gear

I know this topic has been beaten to death. Ive tried everything to get this thing to shift smoothly. Everything on this machine is basically brand new looking. Pulled clutches and cleaned them. Pulled gear box and greased it. One way bearing feels perfect to me. Washers are mint. The one thing i cant seem to figure out is how to get the sheeves to slightly open on the secondary? The belt is to tight. Its riding to high on the driven clutch. My bolt holding driven clutch in is not the one that takes shims. There are 2 washers on the back side. Would pulling 1 off make the driven clutch open a little bit or is that for just alignment? Also motor mounts look great with no wear and can not budge the motor. Any help would be appreciated

Is the plastic battery cover really necessary?

As far as I can tell it seems to do nothing. When I went to replace my original battery it was still very dirty/muddy on top of the battery and around the terminals. I'm debating just replacing the strap to hold the battery down and leaving that cover off.

Any thoughts?

Curtiss Zeus is Judge Dredd’s electric motorcycle

When Confederate Motorcycles changed its name to Curtiss — in honor of Glen Curtiss, the inventor of the V-twin engine — the company pledged to make only electric motorcycles. Curtiss did manage to sneak out 35 examples of the V-twin Warhawk last year, based on the Confederate P-51, but that really was the last of the ICE line. Curtiss has now opened the electric account with its Zeus prototype motorcycle, a battery-powered two-wheeler that aims "to future-proof the all-American hot

Wicked YXZ: Modded Mondays

To be perfectly honest, we’re not sure there’s a whole lot of “YXZ” left on this thing beyond the body plastics. From what we can tell, this is a stretched, slammed, purpose built UTV with a completely custom chassis designed to go incredibly fast in a straight line. Hopefully they’ll post some more details about […] more

won’t engage starter

I installed a winch on my 2006 800 Outlander Max. When I hooked the battery up the positive cable made contact with the frame for a moment and sparked. I finished hooking everything up and checked the winch, it worked perfectly. Then I went to start the unit, everything came on as usual, the fuel pump pressured up, I hit the start button and nothing! The starter doesn't do anything, I have checked the front and rear fuses and I haven't a clue whats wrong. Any ideas?
