I have a Sportsman 500 HO 2005 and my front axle cv joint went bad so im trying to pull the whole axle off. At first i just tried to pull it out by hand and it didn't work, then i tried using a slide hammer, didnt work. So i took the front housing off then took the lower part of the axle off of and split the u joint. I tied the whole thing to a tree and used a tow rope to try to pull the other part of the u joint out, i broke the tow rope before i could get it out. So i dont know what to do. There doesnt appear to be any damage to the front housing both sides still spin freely. Here are pictures of it:

Have my 05 sportsman (low miles at 900). It will not idle. It cuts down to about 850-900 rpms then just dies. If i choke it, it will eventually cut out. Just got a new spark plug, fuel filter and air filter. Im gonna start with the fuel filter. Where is it located on my bike?

Hey guys bought a warn vantage 2000 for my 2018 sportsman, i wired it all up but i cant seem to get anything to work. triple checked everything and still nothing. also seems its stuck in free spool? there is also a random red wire attached to the switch wiring which from the manual i believe its for an optional remote? anyway im looking for some sort of advice before i just rip the entire thing out of my 4 wheeler and take it back. this is beyond frustrating. im at a loss and ready to throw the entire thing off a roof!

on a side note has anyone noticed how its nearly impossible to get the negative screw back in when you attach the negative lead (on top or under the one thats already there)?

Hi thanks for adding me to the Can Am Forum! I'm a proud new owner of a 2013 XMR 1000 Outlander Camo edition which I bought three months ago and so far couldn't be happier, this beast just blasts through everything! I've been riding Ski-doo's for the last 30 years but done praying for snow then having to trailer everywhere! The last 4 wheeler I owned was a 1986 250 Honda fourtrax that my father bought when I was 14 so yes showing my age I'm 45 now and feel like a kid riding this thing!

Hey guys, I'm new to can ams and I recently bought a used 2016 outlander max 850. I changed the belt on the cvt and noticed that the secondary Clutch spins in neutral and park. When in gear it doesn't until sprin until you give it the gas. If I jack the rear wheels off the ground and put it in gear the secondary spins along with the wheels. Is this normal?

I have a 02 500 HO Scrambler and was wondering what size winch I should buy. I am not a riding in any deep mud trails or swamps. I ride with two other non 4x4 quads thought it might come in handy.

1843 Miles, 143 Hours. Love the two-up for the better ride and longer wheelbase for safer climbing. Upgraded Dalton Clutch and almost-new belt. Located in West Sacramento and will deliver it up to 100 miles. Great shape, upgraded bead-lock wheels and excellent Kenda tires. Winch, battery tender hookup. DPS power steering. $7,900

Got out and put an easy 50 on it today...Wow! I'm REALLY gonna like this! :grin
Must have overfenders though for sure...even with stock skins. We often go way out deep and stay at least overnight and sometimes two or three days. Its just not cool for all your gear to be muddy when you get ready to make camp for the night.

I have a 570 can am 0outlander! I had pulled out of a ditch and was on a incline! got oil in the cylinder housing! and would not crank! pulled spark plugs and blew oil out! added new plugs and started up! smoked for awile! now today no smoke so far but some tapping in the engine! any ideas?
