Best Tire & Wheels for…

Have a 2014 Sportsman 570 EFI. Looking to finally start doing some mods that will enhance performance/functionality. In process of switching all lights to LED to lower electrical draw and have a winch on the way. Would like to figure out my best option for Tires (& Wheels) which are still stock. Main use of the 570 is hunting, farm utility and moderate trail riding (pretty much in that order).

TIRES: I’m looking at the Kenda Bear Claw HTR likely 25x8x12 Front and 25x10x12 Rear. From my research I’ve seen a lot of reviews calling this a great all around tire that is very durable. Not really feeling the need to go up to 26” - would not mind the additional ground clearance but I’ve read about larger tires impacting power & performance. Would consider just going with the original Kenda Bear Claw to save $30+ per tire as well.

WHEELS: Any general recommendations for a wheel manufacturer that makes a good moderately priced alloy wheel. Not looking for anything flashy, but would like them to enhance the look of the bike. I would just stick with the stock wheels but plan to keep the stock tires and wheels together as a full extra set.

NOTE: I am a newb at figuring out the best mods so I’m open to any and all feedback.

Thanks for the help!

800 outlander rear cylinder wont go!

Hi Everyone, I have a 2006 800 Outlander, I replaced timing chains and now it won't start. It will run on ft cylinder if I remove rear spark plug. I have triple checked the timing, the injector is working, I got spark, I got compression and I got fuel.....? What am I missing?

soft suspension 2014 650XT

I just bought a very lightly used '14 (630km). I'm finding the suspension very soft compared to other units I have tried over the years. Is it just me? Are Can Am's known for this? If yes, are there any cost effective solutions to upgrade? Thanks for your thoughts

2014 650XT-Extra (unused) Wiring Harness?

I have found an unused 8 pin female wiring harness. Located directly behind the main fuse panel. Cannot find it on the electrical diagram. There are 7/8 of the slots that have wires. Anyone have any idea what this is for? I'm thinking it might be for the European models that have turn signals/running lights/horn and they standardized main electrical wiring at time of assembling frame. Thinking of using it for a light bar. Thoughts?
