Hello everyone! I'm looking for a little advice. I'm wanting to set up my 2002 sportsman 700 that I recently picked up to be a mud machine. I plan on doing a 2 inch lift and running 30x9x14 gorilla silverbacks on it. My question is, to get these to fit, What will I need to purchase in terms of wheel spacers etc. To make them fit as well as trimming plastics?

Thanks in advance!

I have a hndl br signal flashing on my display along with a wrench. It also says SLOW. Can anyone help me with what these mean?

I have a 2008 Polaris Outlaw 90cc and when it is running there are no head lights or tail lights? Can anyone point me in a direction what to look for? thanks

Hey everyone,

What's everyone's thoughts on Can Ams (or ATVs in general) with salvage titles?

This particular one is a 2014 Outlander 500, Camo, with about 500 miles on it. It's at a dealership that specifically buys salvage vehicles at auction and resells them. The owner told me he purchased it at auction 3 years ago for his own use, but hasn't used it like he thought he would and is selling it now. He hasn't had it inspected yet so I would be responsible for taking it to the DMV inspection before it could be registered.

The quad looks very clean. I'm starting to think it was a stolen quad rather than a damaged one, he hasn't done any work too it and it starts and drives fine.

Any suggestions for things to look for? I've had several ATVs in the past, mostly Yamahas, but never a Can Am and would love some suggestions here.

Hey everyone,

Just a newbie joining to do some research on a used Outlander. Been a Yamaha guy my whole life but could be converted, I'll start a dedicated topic for that.

Look forward to learning from you all

Looking at maybe increasing my throttle body bore. Anyone do this yet.

I have just rebuilt my bike. I removed the shocks which are the standard air ride/air float assist for the XMR Outlander 2011. Everything worked great before. They were sat for about 3 months.
My fronts now top out with a bang.

Is there a specific setup for these? For instance should they be uncompressed or compressed when first using? I struggle to see them loosing oil and needing a rebuild as no oil has been lost (that I have seen) and they were perfect before hand.

I do however now have the superatv a arm kit fitted which I did not have before so I could possibly understand this may cause a problem BUT I have been unable to find anyone else relate to this being a problem and my friend has the a arms fitted to the same bike and has not had this problem so I feel it would be way too easy to blame this.

Ideally need someone who understands these shocks to tell me if this is a shock problem and if there is some way of repairing or tuning.

You may suggest they need sending to FOX for a rebuild but that is not an option. I am in the UK and we do not have a FOX shox rebuilder here mainly because the sport/hobby is very limited. Sending the shocks to FOX USA would cost an absolute fortune. :sad

Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.

Hey all, I have a 2003 700, has a few issues at the moment, first one is I let it sit in a shed all winter and started it a few times, but this spring when i changed oil it had moisture in the oil? why? i did change out the water pump seals and such last year and put a few hundred miles on it after. did change the oil after I changed the seals to. second problem is with the front diff, almost like it is stuck in 4x4 when im going slow but as soon as i crack the throttle it comes out of 4x4, mind you the switch on the handle bar is shut off...third and final prob is when going down the road its like the trans is trying to shift. not sure how to word it, but you can hear a rpm difference from around 35 mph, just wondering if this is normal? i did change the one clutch (the one you dont need a puller for), also on the front diff i have changed the fluid on it every year with the pure polaris oil it reccomends. Thanks for any and all help on this beast! Robert

Hey all,

I have been a Skidoo guy forever and just this weekend got my first side by side. Maverick Trail 1000 dps. I opted not to spend the $800 for the factory sound system even though it seemed to be a way better option and have better placement than the soundbar...I just couldn't bring myself to drop $800 on it. What are some good setups people are running for sound in the Mav trail? Also, if you have any other tips about anything let me know.

Thanks.
