Do You Think You Could “Stomach” This Ride? + Video
Do You Think You Could “Stomach” This Ride? + VideoThere are those that burn donuts in a UTV and then there’s this guy. We’re pretty sure he’s spinning so fast and so tight, with every new revolution, his stomach catches up to where it was on the previous one. I guess if you’re having a tough time waking up, a ride with this guy would […] more
Tire size on a 2003 sportsman 500
The bike I just bought has 26" tires front and rear. I know on my scrambler 500 I have to use tires that have a 1" diameter difference front to rear for the 4 wheel drive to work properly. Doesn't the same apply to the sportsman?
What fluid to use in the front hubs and seal part numbers
I thought there was an alternative to using the Polaris fluid in the front hubs(I'm thinking type f transmission fluid), am I correct? Also, does anyone have seal part numbers for the hubs that can be purchased from Napa? Thanks!
Trash Truck Makes a Great UTV Hauler + Video
Trash Truck Makes a Great UTV Hauler + VideoHauling a UTV in a trash truck might be a tad unconventional, but it certainly is convenient. No more raising and lowering the ramp; just push a button, drop the bed and drive right in. It might smell a tad funky, but it’s probably the safest way you could ever haul a UTV considering it’s a steel […] more
Military “MV850” racks
I rode both the MV700 and MV850 Polaris ATV’s in Afghanistan and LOVED them. I have acquired a 2007 Sportsman 800 that I would like to (if possible) dress out like the workhorses I rode over there. Polaris made a civilian version - the WV850 - a few years ago with the same rack setup. Anyone know where I could find the metal racks and tubular body guards for sale? I want my hunting buggy to be as much of a beast as the ones we had in Kandahar. Thanks...

Oil drain plug alternatives
I just bought my first ATV. My 55 year old gift !!!
A 2016 Outlander 850 max xt. It only had 1500km.
Did all oil changes (rear/front diffs, gearbox and engine ).
I have seen many posts on stripped drain plugs. Can someone tell me if there are alternatives plugs ?
Nylon drain plugs, drain valves, that could replace the standard drain plugs.
Thanks for your help !

Can am renegade 1000r pros and cons
Hey guys!
I’m looking at purchasing a 2018 or 2019 can am renegade 1000r, I have now a Polaris scrambler 1000 and it rides great on the trails but it doesn’t have the power I’m looking for. I hoping that the renegade would be better. And before I’m gonna buy a renegade I would like to know the pros and cons of the renegade.
Thanks.

Renegade XXC 1000 High Clearance A-arms
I had been thinking about these for the last year at least, and finally called Highlander and ordered a set. I do a lot of trail riding and like a soft ride, but still need the clearance....
So the fit was pretty good, and the install went fairly well. I had the dealer provide me brand new ball joints and press them into the new a-arms. I installed everything....Wasn't too bad.
So things to remember...BJ's don't come with the snap rings, that's an extra $11, and the bushings I bought with the A-arms did not come with new sleeves. I had to re-use the stockers. Luckily, mine were in vgc...
So price of the a-arms plus, $76 for ball joints and $25 for them to press them in and $11 for snap rings and $14 in metric bolts/washer that I either stripped or were bent that had to be replaced in the skid plate and bumper mount. I have jars of SAE stuff, but no metric.
I reminded the dealer I got thrown out of an Autozone for having to make two trips to get all the parts to do a brake job once when the guy didn't give me ALL the clips and springs to do it the first time....when he realized I purchased the ball joints from his counter guy...
Other than that...I really like all the extra clearance the a-arms have and they are very sturdy and fit good. Already have 30 trail miles on them from this past weekend....
I also ordered the rear 2" extended arms from Highlifter...I haven't received those yet. I am debating if I should have the dealer do those or if I should buy the special tool to do those and goof with it myself.
