Hey, changed rear axle bearings, broke sprocket hub getting it off. Does anybody know what years and models would interchange?

Thanks

Here's the situation.

2014 Outlander 1000XT

Two months ago I took it for a ride. It shut off randomly...had to tow it home. Once I got it home it would not start...no attempt to start. Several messages on pod, such as, "Transmission Signal Fault", "Communication Error" etc.

Started looking everything over and found that one of the 40amp fuses under the seat had blown and actually melted through the connector. I thought that was it...replace the fuse and I'm good to go. Got a replacement...still no go. Pulled the plastics and got to the front fuse box. Some...but not all of the fuses in the front box were getting power. Got out the meter and test light. Some things got 12v from the battery/rear fuse box...but others didn't.

I got a friend who owns BUDS to drop by. He could not read any of the modules. I pulled my ECM...tried it in another bike...it worked with my key...so I assume ECM is ok.

Tried another gauge pod..no go.

Tried another key switch and key...no go.

Tried a working GBPS...no go

Had some holidays from work...so the bike sat for a few weeks. On the advice of my friend I ordered another harness from Ebay. He thought there was a short/break/melted set of wires somewhere between the rear fuse box and the front.

I pulled the original harness. Put in the new one.

Now I get power both to the rear fuse box and the front fuse box.

When I turn on the key I still get "Transmission Signal Fault" and "Communication Error" and an "E" for gear indicator.

I'm at a loss...

I've searched and did everything everyone has suggested for these errors...but still no start.

Help.

Please

Anyone have any contact info. I do not do Facebook. So is there any way to order from him? I am not having any luck. He has not been on this forum for over a year. Thanks

Hello from Romania!

I am willing to buy a Can Am Outlander 650, and I found one that fits my budget.
So I asked for a video from the owner and I think the engine doesn't sound so good.
Please take a look at this video:

I think that:
1. It started slow and it made a weird sound.
2. I hear a clicking sound while it works.
3. At minute 1.25, I think it made a bad sound while decelerating.

I also don't understand why it has 'outlander' stickers instead of 'brp', like all the others I've seen.

Thanks for the input, I really appreciate your help!

Welp shredded my first belt. Me and four friends went to Carolina adventure world. After hour n half of riding I kept hearing a pop pop pop when on the throttle. I figured was belt so tried to limp her to pits. She let go and gave out. I'm wondering maybe I put the belt on too tight when I installed it a few months ago? I did hurt it a little the other day trying to get it on the trailer without ramps. Had some rubber chunks come out of the snorkel for the cv. Was a regular gates belt. We cut it in half to get it off

My base of friends that I ride with is getting smaller . And going riding less and less. I like to ride the Hatfield Mccoy trails . Open to other trips. I'm on a scrambler xp 1000 and like to use its power.

Hi ATV'ers: Its been a while since I've been here. I usually like to do as much repairs as I can, but this problem isn't in the manual or you tube. I took apart the light switch because the headlight wasn't working. Well, a couple of springe dropped out, 4 contacts for the switch and four wheel drive button and I think 2 ball bearings. Found everything but 1 bearing. Not sure where the bearings go. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I just got back from a week of riding the Hatfield & McCoy trails and passed these 4 570's a number of times, I thought the units mounted on the front of the cargo box was some kind of a gps, but I ran into these 4 guys at the trailhead at Buffalo Mountain and asked about the gps, and they told me they worked for Polaris and the units were for recording data, so I asked if they were working on the heat problem and the one guy told me for the last 3 months so here's hoping they get it right.

So I bought a 2014 sportsman 570 efi and it's been nothing but problems since it was bought brand new. I just exceeded 40 hrs and this lot voltage code showed up. Lo 10.9 as it idles, the voltage decreases then starts sputtering and backfiring. My altenater is fine and I'm sure my battery is alright as well. I do have a 2,500 lb wench installed too. Anyone have any ideas????
