What is everyone’s favourite exhaust setup for the sportsman 850SP?
Hello from Montana
I'm not a Can-Am owner yet, but I'm awfully close :)
We had one hell of a winter here in western Montana with record-breaking snow fall. This has been a trend the last few years and looks like it will continue. I'm on about an acre with two driveways, one of them about 150 feet long and it's just gotten too much to keep up with shoveling or blowing, so I'm in the market for a plow machine.
I'm looking at an Outlander 570 with or without DPS. I love the Rotax engines, and the 570 v-twin makes great power; about the same as the Brute 750 I was looking at, for less money.
Glad there's an active forum like this dedicated to these machines!

Question before purchase
Hi everyone,
First post here. I’ve found a 2014 outlander 500 XT with the Camo package. It has a little under 350 miles on it and it looks like it’s im great shape and have been very well taken care of. I’ve never owned an atv before so I’m really looking for advice. What’s a good price for something like this? I’m not wanting to spend over $4,500 but I have no clue if that would be a price they would laugh at. They’re not asking a lot over that price so I figured why not. Lastly... is there anything to be concerned about with this year and model?
Thanks in advance.

Just bought my first ATV.
Love to make my own maintenance but can't find anywhere a parts seller anywhere in Canada.
I see lots of posts saying that it is cheaper than dealer but I have no idea where to go.
Can someone help me please ?
Thanks again for your help

Hey Everyone,
I've started working on my quad and now I can't stop, LOL. I recently did a two up conversion, new HD springs all around Polaris out front, EPI on the back. I did the tamarack lounger seat with hand warmers and fender protectors with foot pegs and put in the relay so that the third brake light would work. I put waterproof shrink connectors on all the wiring, they actually melt glue out to seal them, seems pretty water tight. I put a o ring onto the stock accessory plug to run the rear hand warmers.
I have a factory Polaris winch hooked up to one of the factory accessory switched wires. For the second wire I'm planning on hooking up two wires into it, one for pure Polaris hand warmers, and one for a pure Polaris thumb warmer. I am going to split the one that the winch is hooked up to now and add a 72 watt light bar rated at 7200 lumens. I'm also swapping out all three factory 50 watt headlights with 80 watt LED that are supposed to use only 30 watts. I also have a brand new NAPA AGM battery and a battery tender.
I understand my machine doesn't put out much juice. Right now as it is I can't run my factory low beams without the battery warning light coming on. They are two 50 watt bulbs for 100 watts total. The high beam is fine at 50 watts. My thought is that the light bar might be a happy medium at 72 watts that will put out a lot more light but not turn on the battery light. When I run hand warmers I would probably need to run the one factory high beam with the new 30 watt LED to save juice for the warmers. Also I will have the option for the factory low beams using only 60 watts. Basically three light setting, never using everything at the same time.
What are everyone's thoughts on this setup? I was going to put some led taillights in too to help save power as well. The springs made a huge difference if anyone is wondering I attached some before and after pictures and one of where I mounted the relay in my box. Tires really look sweet too. Sedona Ripsaws, can't wait for the end of mud season to try out the new rig.

Another gear oil question
I'm going to be changing all my fluids out this weekend on my Outlander 570. I have a bunch of qts of Valvoline syn power 75w140 I'm going to be using. It shouldn't matter that they are for limited-slip should it?

Tanner Godfrey Takes His Mom For a Wild RZR Ride + Video
"I thought he was kidding when he was going to go over those jumps"
It’s always fun taking “newbies” for a ride in a UTV, but Tanner Godfrey kicks it up a notch when taking his own mother for a ride in a Polaris RZR. Considering she birthed the wild child, you’d think she would have at least some affinity for doing crazy things, but apparently it skips a generation.

Wiseco fuel controller
Anybody have any experience with the Wiseco fuel controller? It looks identical to the Dobeck EJK but is about $80 less. I've got a 2012 sportsman 850xp that is completely stock for now, I am just looking to clean up the hesitation on acceleration but plan to add intake and exhaust later on. Any info would be appreciated, thanks.
