Need to hide or remove snorkel kit thanks to Maine laws ? Need advice
Hey guys I got an 07 Outlander 800 xt that I bought with a snorkel kit. Wardens up here in Maine have not been liking them so I need to either find a way to hide them or something or advice on what I would need to put it back to stock. Really didn't want to do that but you gotta do what you got to do don't want to get a fine every time I go up north and ride. Any input would be awsome
Sportsman 850SP Touring Defect-Check Engine Light
To let you know:
Apparently there's a defect with some 850SP Touring models called the "Phantom ECU Light." There's no fix. The symptom is a Check Engine Light and no ability to get into Diagnostic Mode nor any error codes. Of course mine has it. The ECU was changed out and all was well for about a week, then for no reason the Check Engine Light came on. Polaris and a local dealer are working on swapping the bike out for a 1000XP. Cost is TBA.:sad

Spanning the Golden Crack in Moab Utah + Video
Spanning the Golden Crack in Moab Utah + VideoThe Golden Crack is an obstacle in Moab, Utah that really tests the articulation of a vehicle’s suspension. Most of the time a driver will find himself on two wheels as the weight transfers across the crack. A nerve wracking feeling for sure!

Xpedition 425 leaking oil seal
I've been lurking and using this great site for awhile. I finally ran into a repair I was not able to find info by searching for this model. I am not sure of the exact year, but I believe this model was only manufactured from 2000-2002. I have been unsuccessful at finding an online VIN decoder. I have extensive experience working on auto's, but have never torn into a Polaris before. I am about to start the process of pulling parts off to remove the carb and clean the cooling system so now would be the time to address the leaking oil seal on the front output shaft.
Has anyone replaced this seal on their rig before? Is this seal just like an auto oil seal where it is pryed out and a new one tapped in? Does Polaris have this setup where a special tool is needed? Please share the link if you have stumbled across any good write-ups on this. Finally, any recommendations for legit online parts suppliers that offer good pricing and maybe good parts diagrams for ordering?
I appreciate any help!

Ricocet plates – BROKE OFF
My last ride, I bottomed out the front end (as usual - haven't been able to get the spacers in) but this time my skid plates literally broke off the machine! One bolt actually ripped through the frame.
I need to pick up some replacement hardware, but there are almost a dozen options to choose from. Bolts I'll get ah HD, I just need 2 of the clamps. Anyone know which ones to order?
Added photos for those interested.
