Hi guys and gals
I am currently in the market for a new outlander just not sure which type yet. Probably 850 or 1000. Lots of big trees on my property and long driveway(+500ft) so i figured a bigger one would be better.
Not sure if i should go before oct 31st or wait and see what type of deals they come out with after halloween?
I am also trying to figure out what type of plow i want.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!

I am wondering how they determine the ground clearance on the 850's, when I bought mine the springs were set to the softest setting, the ground clearance (on concrete floor) to the lowest point under the bike was just over 9". I adjusted the springs with supplied tool and got it up to 10" at middle setting and nothing higher from the last 2 settings. Where on the bike do they measure 11.5"? What is everyone else's bike at? I just added 28" tires to try and get some extra clearance as hanging up it already an issue on some trails. 11" now with the 28's.

Hi,

My first post, hope to get some help from you.

My original dps broke down, quite common as i understand.
The dps is replaced with a new part number 709401182 according to brp spare parts.
Fine! I was able to get my hands on an almost new unit (709401182 from a XMR 650)
Installed the new dps and had my 2011 XMR 800 to my BRP dealer. They connect to the atv with buds and have the new dps calibrated. The problem is the rest of the modules in the atv won´t recognise the dps.
According to BRP europe it´s because the dps will set for either G1 or G2 the first time it is installed in an atv. And according to them there is no way of changing that later on. I have really hard to see why?

So i have a nice fully functioning dps, but i´m not able to use it since it has been installed in a G2 earlier. Could someone please tell me there is a way of resetting the dps "as new". Maybe with buds engineering, or megatech license?

Have a 2017 outlander max 1000 x tp looking for clutch suggestions . Leaning towards the STM your thoughts ????

Hey all, this may be much simpler than I?m making it, but I need a full fuel system diagram or someone to guide me step by step, the previous owner removed all the lines and I?m guessing didn?t know where they went back to.. so, I?m trying to piece it back together....I need tank and reserve sides

My 09 400HO will not run over a certain rpm.

I have performed all the troubleshooting procedures in the factory service manual. Disconnecting the black wire to the CDI unit only defeated the reverse limiter and the ETC. When the black wire is connected, the reverse limiter works and the override button works, but about 15 to 20 mph, the engine starts cutting out. I connected a timing light and verified it is losing spark and is not a fuel issue. The manual is not definitive as to whether the problem is in the dash, CDI unit, pulse generator, coil or spark plug cap. The spark plug is new, the coil, pulse gen, alternator and spark plug cap all ohm out within spec.

Anyone else experience this problem with this model or any other model? I'm thinking the dash or CDI unit might be the culprit.

Your experience would be appreciated.

I have a 05 sportsman 800 and noticed the speedometer wasn't working, I'm not a mechanics type of person and after riding it this afternoon I noticed this tube was broke... I am assuming there is a correlation between the two?

2004 Scrambler 500 4x4. I replaced the rear caliper that seemed to be frozen. Front brake lever controls the right side of the rear and works fine. The rear pedal barely pushes any fluid through. A check of the reservoir shows it is still virtually fill. How do I check whether or not the master cylinder (or that is what I assume the thing the pedal is fastened to is called) is functioning?
