Hello to everyone on the forum I recently just purchased a 2012 commander 1000x with 2,400 miles on it. Just trying to figure out what kind of things I need to look over before taking on some long rides. I have owned mostly just Honda atvs, always do my own repairs and stuff. I know to check out the belt, but other than that I don't know much about these machines just looking for some preventive tips from you guys with experience on these machines to avoid issues on the trails. thanks

Enjoying my new Defender, but have many questions as this is my first UTV.

When trailering, do I leave it in park or neutral? I have the machine tied down securely and my trailer also has a back gate. Still noticed some small "back and forth" movements while driving on dirt roads. My concern is with the transmission.

I looked in the manual but there wasn't anything on trailering.

Thanks.

What handguards are you running? Also do you guys suggest I get powermadd or pure Polaris handguards?

Took my buddy's renegade 800 out yesterday to test it out after repairs and it died on the trail. Turned out to be the negative cable lost the nut. Positive cable was also loose. I had just cranked them as tight as I could before I left. So we fixed it and it was loose after a couple miles again. I put medium strength loctite on when I got home but id like to hear what other people did to fix this issue

Primary clutch not opening fully at idle keeping belt engaged and secondary spinning. It's not clutch alignment have added and taken shims out don't work. Bushings and oneway are also good.Cleaned a lot of black belt dust out and still same thing. Got a patv17 primary spring and that made it open and work correctly except it has like a 2800 engagement which is not ok.
The pic is the belt dust and crap I cleaned out. I also have a vid of what it's doing if I can figure out how to post it. Any advise would be great. Thanks!

hey guys, I'm Adam, live i northern illinois, ride in wisconsin, just picked up a 17' 570. Got the polaris winch set up, as well as the rack extension. Bought this set of race line wheels, and sedona rockabilly tires, in 28x10x14. Really like the look of this set up. Note: in the picture the rear tire isn't that close, its the angle i took the picture at.

I have a 2004 quest. Will 26x9x12 and 26x11x12 tires fit it with stock rims and no spacers or mods?

Just purchased Can-am heated grip set for 2012 Outlander 650 Max XT. The plastic Switch housing does not fit the bolt and the wiring harness is two prong and I can't find where to connect to accessory plug.
Any advice?
