Ridin’ A Can am 650
Cheers!

Ok , I'm looking to replace my factory battery and I am looking for opinions based on experience for the best aftermarket battery for a 2015 Sportsman 570 EPS. Cost is not a issue over dependability. Just want a good reliable battery! What do you guys suggest?

Stumbled onto this thread and found some really good info that I wasn't aware of before. There's been a couple of hiccups but Torqmasters seems to have dealt w/ them and had excellent customer service. Not associated w/ them at all and have never purchased any of their products.

Can someone recommend a brand and place to order heavy duty front springs. I plan on using a small plow and mine are pretty shot. I have a lot of sag with no plow attached.
I have a 2000 Polaris expedition Thank you for all your help

Was wrenching on my new to me sportsman 800 last night and realized that the front tires were 25x10x12 489s. Stock size was 25x8x12 correct? I was under the impression that anything wider that an 8 would rub on the TRE if mounted on the stock wheels. Here are a few pics of the tire sizes and the clearance to the tie rod, which is about 1/2" or maybe a little more. Seeing this has got me reconsidering buying a set tires and wheels and just going with a new set of rubber. Anyway onto the pics:

Front tire size, no wheel spacer either

Tie rod clearance @ 1/2"

Rear tire size - this is stock size right?

Will a slip on for a 2016 1000 xmr fit a 2018 1000 xmr?

After reading all the threads on here I ordered a battery tender Jr. And these cables and lugs.

No idea how anyone can jump or be the jumper with this atv.

From what I understand these cables are shorter than desired.

I am thinking I still will need to mount them under the storage box and the tender wires can be near the light for easier access. Will need to remove the storage to jump or be jumped.

I thought about cutting the box but then I can’t easily take it off.

Any other ideas?

My name is Dan and I have a 2007 Can-AM DS90. It ran when it was parked but that was 7 years ago. I bought this machine for my grandson from my brother in law. Like I said it hasn't been looked at for 7 years. I bought a new battery and charged it. I took the carb apart and cleaned it as well as the fuel tank, and the fuel shut off valve. So I was hoping that would be it but it never fired so I checked the plug and I don't get any spark. I've looked at all the terminals and cant find anything that looks bad. Any ideas on where to look or check next

New to the sight guys. looking for some info / help. 2013 XMR 1000 shocks. Not a fan of this air system so I am replacing my shocks. Can I plug the lines or not? Can I disconnect the compressor so it doesn't run or do I have to remove it. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I do have the grip warmers but find when it gets below 0 my thumb gets very cold. I see they sell a thumb warmer on E bay. The add says that you glue or zip tie it onto the throttle lever. Has anybody installed one of these and if so how well do they work and stay onto the throttle lever?
