I've read several different posts that Canam uses self tapping screws to mount their mud guard kit to the fenders for the Gen 2 bigger bore machines. Is this still true or have they updated the mounting hardware? I'm especially interested to hear from anyone with a newer 1000 Outty on this.
I have run Direction 2 Fender Extensions in the past and they actually bolt to the fenders and are very rugged. I do however prefer the look and style of the Canam kit but really would like something more rugged than just screws holding them on.
I could really use some help. There is a clear tube coming out of the frame near the seat on the left side. Where does it connect to? It's about a foot long.
2000 Scrambler 500 4x4.
Thanks in advance.
While looking to snatch up the '17 rebate, a dealer tossed out a ridiculous price on leftover '15. Anything new and improved from '15 to '17 that should make me think 2017? Also, what about eps, worth the 1k?

2015 570sp hunter just installed second Voltage regulator.Stock and aftermarket lasted around 8 months???? Seems to me there is to much voltage or something burning these out???? Any info or similar scenario please share info.
Race conditions were near perfect with a hot and humid day at the sixth annual Rocky Mountain ATV/MC Mountaineer Run GNCC in Masontown, West Virginia. The lack of race meant dust was a huge factor at the eleventh round of the 2017 AMSOIL Grand National Cross Country (GNCC), presented by Maxxis, an AMA National Championship, but WFR/Yamaha/Maxxis/Fly Racing’s Walker Fowler didn’t let it faze him where he once again made his way to the middle of the box to take home the coveted overall win.
Great ride today in North Boise, ID. Started at about 4500ft, climbed to 7000+ and there found snow.
The descent back was really fun (I tend to enjoy more roads that I have already seen and checked the grip - it's the rally codriver in me :D)
Very nimble chassis, impressed with how well the shocks perform and suspension geometry absorbs bumps and washouts. Great brake balance, 4x4 F+R power distribution and CVT transmission. 570cc is plenty for me, more than that and it would be recipe for disaster. The machine really shone on snow in my opinion. Very controllable and manageable even in sections where I went from snow to slush to wet clay and vice versa. :fing02:
Hello, new to the forums and I just picked up a 2008 Sportsman 800 with only 29.8 hours and 283 miles on it. The guy I bought it from bought it to go screw around in the desert with some Russian business partners and once they parted ways he stopped riding. I bought it to be a hunting rig and to do some occasional trail riding.
The previous owner installed an FMF muffler which I’ll be taking off and replacing with stock and an aftermarket clutch kit. The Quad runs great but it has to rev pretty high before it’ll start moving (maybe 1/3 throttle?) and then it pulls really hard. I forgot to look at the tach when I was testing it out earlier today to see just when it’s starting to engage. I’m guessing this is most likely due to an aggressive aftermarket primary clutch kit, right? I have the original components, I’ve just never had a CVT Quad before (I’ve raced LTR450s for years) so I want to make sure I’m headed in the right direction. Thanks for any help you can provide!
Anybody interested in doing this ride. Flyer attached below. Brief synopsis: 1 day ride, 15-25 mile loop on private property. Can ride it all day. $45/adult. Hoping to get a group. Need to register in advance. Stateline ATV Club members? Anyone else interested? Take a look at the flyer. Respond here, let's see if we can't get a nice group to attend.
I ordered the bearing greaser tool
Can-Am Commander 800 Wheel Bearing Greaser Service Tool 25-1516 293350040 CAN AM | eBay and it came in today. I had already prepped everything (tires & brakes off & all nuts and bolts loose so I could remove shocks & swing arms when I had the tool in hand. It still took me a long time to do it, but it was really worth it. All the bearing seemed to be in good shape, but when I greased them, each of them took 20+ pumps on my grease gun before any grease started come through the bearings. One of the bearing even had a few drops of water forced out of it (I’ll keep a close eye on that one). I plan on greasing the wheel bearings once a year (during my winter maintenance). Seems to be a really nice tool to have.
An official reveal is right around the corner.
