Special Tools

Started a thread to post drawings on special tools for fabrication your own analog tools. Would be nice to know if somebody has a special tool, to measure it and post this information here for reference. It makes it lot easier to know the excact sizes than trying to derive measurements from pictures or machine.

Who does your after-market mods?

As a rule, will a Can-Am dealer do mod work using the after-market brake & skid plate suggestions I've been reading about here on the forum? And... how do these mods affect the factory warranty? Are the warranties voided as a result?

I wouldn't attempt to do them myself. I break toast just spreading butter:th_smilienoclue:

Great forum. Lots of valuable info & great people too. Thanks!

1999 Xplorer 400 AWD not working

I have replaced the coil and the sleeve. I was very cautious when i installed it. Strut looks good. I have .001" clearance from sleeve to inner ring. New armature plate does not draw into place and does not stay even if I set it tight. I have 12.75v in both wires going to coil when I turn switch on. I tried forward and reverse, override button you name it?

OEM steel wheel offset

Hello Forum,

I'm looking for info regarding the OEM Wheels/Tires on my 2017 570 Sportsman Touring 2Up. The tires have the info written on them. As for the wheels I Google searched for info on them & here's what I have so far:

OEM TIRES:
Carlisle AT 489,
4 Ply Rated (bias),
Max Inflation 10 PSI,
F. 25 x 8 - 12,
R. 25 x 10 - 12.

OEM STEEL WHEELS
F: 1520269-067
12 x 6, black,
R: 1520457-067
12 x 8, black.

BOLT PATTERN
4 x 156mm

OFFSET
???????
That's what I can't find. I read an article that explains what the numbers mean:

"Every rim has an offset that consists of 2 numbers that are measurements.
The 1st number is the measurement (in inches) from the inside lip of the rim, to the center of the rim where the hub and rim meet.
The 2nd number is the measurement (in inches) from the hub to the outside lip of the rim.

For example: An ATV wheel with a 4+3 offset will measure 4" from the inside lip to the center of the rim where the hub and rim meet, and then it will measure 3" from the hub to the outside lip. The two numbers added together will total the overall width of the rim.

Positive Offset vs. Negative Offset?
A positive offset will have a larger number first and and smaller number second.
For example. 4+2, 5+2, 4+3, 5+3
A negative offset will have a smaller number first and a larger number second.
For example. 2+5, 3+4, 3+5"


So, does anyone here know what the offset of these wheels is? Please let me know.

Thamk you,
Petros

10 hour service??

Hey guys,

Read a lot of people here talking about a 10hr break in service.

Just read my 2018 outlander 850 manual front to back and it mentions a 10hr break in period but nothing about having to change oils at these period ... in fact I'm pretty sure it only says change engine oil once a year?

Where’s this bit go?

2008 DS 90X. Was riding yesterday and after going through a muddy puddle she started running rough in the higher rpm range. Check the air filter, appeared tidy, then noticed this hose loose and couldn't restart.
