Aluminum skid pictures

Hello all,
I would like to purchase some Aluminum skid plates for my 2017 1000 XMR. Looking at Ricochet and Iron Baltic. Does anyone have pictures of the front and rear wheel well area so I can see how the main pan/skid fits up to the inner fender well? Your thoughts on either manufacturer and type would be appreciated as well.

Led lighting question

If I want to change my stock halogen bulbs to led, is there anything I have to do other than change the bulbs?

2018 Renegade Xmr 570 – to mod or not to mod?!

Hey all.

I recently picked up a new Renegade xmr 570 (Nov. 2017). I love the machine a lot, and it has plenty of power for my needs. I love riding in the mud, and wanted a machine at a decent price point that I wouldn't need to modify to suit this riding style.

I've seen many posts about overheating and the need to wrap the exhaust/install tuner/fan switch, etc. However, most of these are regarding 1000r engines, and older models at that.

I haven't come across any posts about this particular year's model, or engine. Perhaps that's a good thing. I'm not interested in changing out clutches, adding aftermarket exhaust (it sounds just fine to me), or any performance upgrades of that nature.

I'm of the belief that this machine was engineered for mud riding, and should perform just fine bone stock.

Since reading all of these "melted plastics" posts, I have become a little worried and maybe paranoid because I've found myself checking the plastics and wondering "it's pretty hot down there, is that enough to melt it?"

I know the xmr only has a 6 month warranty, so melted plastics beyond that time frame could prove costly.

Has anyone melted plastics on this machine? would it be considered absolutely necessary to wrap the exhaust?

I would wrap it in a heat beat if I knew that plastics melting on this machine was a common thing.

Thanks in advance for your replies.

27-9×12/11×12 tire choices?

Hi there,

Gonna order a Outlander Max 6x6 as soon as the snow has gone and I dont want to use the OE ACT tires. They suck imho. I dont do any mud riding, maybe riding on some marsh if I have to but mostly it will be rocky terrain, riverbeds and gravel roads.
Previously I used the Maxxis Ceros on my Outlander 650 which I was extremely happy with. Excellent tires with great traction when properly aired down. Would buy them again in a heartbeat if they was delivered in 27-9x12/11x12 but they aren't so I have to find something similar.

I have found 3 alternatives which all look pretty decent.
Tusk Terrabite
(GBC)Kanati Mongrel
Carlisle Versa Trail ATR

Out of these three, the Versa Trail is a 6 ply tire which I like, the rest are 8 or 10 ply.
I dont want or need tires with stiff sidewalls.
Any experience on these tires, good or bad?
