After riding for hours Saturday, I slipped into a mud hole that I thought was like all the rest (about a foot or so deep). Once I realized it's depth, it was too late. My 850 shut off only after the rear end was under water up to the middle of my seat (back lower than the front). The front 12" of seat, tank, handlebars, and headlights were out of water. After winching out, I checked the air filter. All was dry. I gave it a few minutes and turned it over. After 5 to 7 seconds, it fired up and seemed to run well.

What if any concerns should I have???

Thanks,
John

So I've been having/had this issue for some time now. Pretty much put it off, but since Winter is Coming, I feel the need to maybe fix it.

When I first bought my 08 sportsman 500 last year, I ended up changing the stator and voltage regulator among other things.

The issue is sometimes at idle the RPM's work fine. Other times it's just 0 unless I rev it up in which case the RPM's show up no problem, until I let off the throttle then it's back down to 0.

What controls the RPM's?

What could the issue be? Any assistance is much appreciated.

The towing capacity of a Commander 800 is 1500 pounds according to the specs.

Do you guys know or have any experience towing heavy objects? The object I am looking to tow around my property is a 3000 pound wood chipper trailer.

Obviously it's double the towing capacity stated by the Can-Am but I'm wondering if it's possible. I would rather tow my wood chipper with the Commander than my pickup around my property.

Hey everyone. Hoping I can get some help. So I'll start at the beginning. 2010 renegade 800r. Has 4600km recently at about 4000km had a fuel pump issue when I was out riding. I would crack the fuel cap and pressure would escape but as I cracked the cap the quad would die everytime until it built up a pound or so I'm guessing. Replaced the fuel pump seemed fine 50 psi fuel pressure the old one when tested came in at 38PSI. Two weeks after fuel pump replacement with the airtex pump had the fuel pump fuse blow 7.5 amp replaced with a 10 amp.... Been a few months lots of riding hundreds and hundreds of kms put on no issue...until today got down to half a tank thought I would crack the gas cap little pressure escaped and quad died stumbled and lost all rpm. Put cap on let pressure build up a little due to the factory can am check valve and ran fine. Got home cracked cap quad died. Put pressure tester in and read 50psi cap on or off went for a ride with it on couldn't get it to do it again. Stayed 50 psi ish entire time...now why in the hell do the few pounds from the hot gas fuming In the tank make it run or not....I could easily bypass the check valve and put a filter on the tank instead but it appears that it may leave me stranded If it can't build some pressure......at the end hear cant figure it out. Would appreciate any response. Thanks.

Planning on picking up a 2017 Sportsman 1000xt in the Copper-matt color scheme. I've never owned a Polaris before. I'm coming off of a 2003 Kawasaki Prairie 650. I ended up with about 4000 miles on the unit with no issues. Just kept the basic stuff serviced. How is the new 2017 Sportsman 1000xt working out for you guys? Is it worth it? Thanks for the input.

I have 2002 700. New crank rods bearings piston cylinder seals gaskets and oil pump. I'm getting no oil at lifters. Please help
