Outlander 850 max xt passenger seat
I just picked up my Outlander this week and so far i am pretty impressed. I chose it because of my size, 6'6" and weigh in at 290 plus i have xxxl feet. Chances are i will never ride double and was too cramped to keep the passenger seat on, so it was removed and the tool box moved to the rear to fill in that gap. Now my question is: did any of you do anything special to fill in that gap left by the removal of the passenger seat?
1995 Trail Boss Carb Rebuild
1995 Trail Boss 250 need advice on rebuild kit. What's the best kit to buy? Also, should I buy a new float arm and pin? My arm looks ok but there seems to be slack where the pin holds the arm on. Long story short, I've already rebuilt this thing one time but I didn't go in depth as I should have maybe. I'm going to clean tank as well this time. I can fire it up fine but it's just bogging like crazy. I've tried everything. Also, please list any tips on the rebuild. Like O-rings placement or any major things that people miss on a rebuild. Thanks for any advice
2018 850 xt
Hello all, I’m new to the forum and need some advice. I’m looking to get a new 850 XT and hessiant to pull the trigger. I’ve previously owned a 07 Sportsman 700 & 08 Grizzly 700. Both great....the Grizzly was bullit proof! NOTHING bad to say. I just picked up an 2018 Defender HD8. Haven’t had enough time behind the wheel to make a fair assessment. The only thing I’ve noticed is “slop” or a delay from the time you push down on the accelerator to when the wheels begin to turn. The CVT in both my Polaris and Yamaha didn’t have this issue. Not sure if that’s just how they’re built or what......any who, if anybody has any input on my decision to get or not to get the 850, please chime in. Thanks!!
Low Beam Lights loose Sptsm 500
I've notice this on several Sportsmen; the Low Beam Lights sit loose in the front plastics; so if you push inward on the light lens, the lens housing falls out of the grill into the front wheel; thought this was odd the first time I saw this but; have it on mine too; haven't had a chance to investigate in depth yet.
Are all Polarises like that? why so temperamental; and how to fix? or am I missing some parts? Suggestions appreciated.
Cheers bc dave

Night Lite Idea’s
i sometimes ride at night with a small group, i had a led whip that give me trouble since i bought it and finally quit.
sometimes the yeahaw followers aren't paying attention and ive been bumped, would like some ideas on led lites that arent blinding but makes
the atv more visible to the riders behind me, dont want another whip but maybe some accent lites at the rear, suggestions on lites or some links that u may have experience with, not high maintenance please.

Well, motor blew in 16’ 850
2286 miles( pretty much all asphalt road miles btw) and 131 hours i changed the oil every 50 hours after the first 25 hour break in period oil change and blew the motor up not even 1/4 mile down the road from my house. I do Still have warranty left on the bike and dealer seems to think Polaris won’t warranty it. Taking it in Monday and seeing how this goes. Fingers crossed.
