Hey guys,
The other day I went to start my four wheeler and it started up. It was a little cold outside so the motor stalled out from being cold. I went to start it again and now it won’t even turn over. It’s like a kill switch is on. Also the pull start won’t start the motor and I used to use the pull start a lot and it would take one pull to start it that way. Anything I should look for. I also replaced the solenoid a day before but should I buy a new one and put it in and try to start it? What should I start with to get the wheeler back up and running?

I’m going back to manual steering . After 2 failed dps I’ve had it. And this bike has never seen water unless washed ! Looking at steering shafts . Looks like many different years are the same ??? Been on couple different parts sites all years seem to have same part # Is this correct ?? Thanks with help

Hello everyone. I have never owned an ATV but am a small engine mechanic by trade. After about a years research I have settled on the 2018 Can Am Outlander 570 XT DPS. I will be purchasing in April or May.

Hi there! New member here, looking to get into a 2017-2018 Outlander XT and I'm torn on what to choose for an engine, pros and cons of the 78HP 850 and the 89HP 1000R? I'm looking for get up and go and speed, fuel mileage all around, trails and backroad driving. Thanks!

Just picked up an 850. No winch, no plow.

Just picked up the 3500 HD Polaris winch, now looking for the plow.

I had plow with my old 600 and it worked great.

What is my best option for this new machine?

I have seen some bad reviews on the Polaris plows and weak parts.

Any help would be appreciated.

Wondering if they will clear on the newer machines, I heard they changed the footrest design.

2018 Sportsman Touring 850

Rear is on. He sent the CTR1 when I ordered the CTR2. Since I had him add the middle mesh it still matched the front so I was good and kept it. Great little storage area now.

Front is going to take some planning and reengineering due to IB skids.

LESSON for others: Best thing would’ve been to stick with John adding the fairlead plate and then just removing the front upper IB skid like you see in the pics.

Looks like I will need to drill through the IB front upper bracket. Can’t remove as it also has the front lower connected to it.

Taking bets on how many drill bits I break LOL.

Hope the photos aren’t sideways like most of mine.
Best pics on iPhone is holding phone sideways.

Doing a few mods to my wheeler. And have a few questions for you guys to hopefully help me with. First question might be a foolish one but on the 2016 xmr the fox shocks can he adjusted. Would I be able to adjust them enough for me to be able to run 32's with out rubbing or should I just get spring spacers? Secondly I have had my ECU flashed and was wondering if I should run a power commander v with the auto tune? Or just leave it be? Works foolish right now but want more. Thanks in advance guys.

Does anyone know if the bolts need to be torqued to a certain lb. or just tighten? After replacing the bushing I snugged all bolts back up and the four wheeler is super stiff, I credit most of that to the bushing replacment but it just seems super tight and now the cv joint is much most noisy than before.

Anyone ever bought a East Lake Axle, rear CV axle off of Amazon? Price isn't bad but I don't know if they are good or not. For the record I don't do any serious off roading, mainly use mine for hunting and occasional riding around the farm.

Thanks
